Matchbox Cars
When I was a kid, I would have given my right leg, and possibly the trousers that it came in, for a collection of Matchbox Cars as vast and shiny as this one. They fulled my fantasies, planting petrol-fumed dreams of Rolls Royces, Mustangs and Porsches. Even now, there’s something very enticing about seeing row of row of such beautiful machinery. Perhaps because cars in this format are about as close as I’ll ever get to owning one. Aw.

Oh Happy Day and Oh Crappy Day rings
Ring out the bad, and ring in the good, Yessir, these Happy Day and Crappy Day rings are just that: a jolt of brutal realism cloaked in saccharine sweet colourings.
Look very closely as your eyes are deceiving you. These are not innocent crayons, fit for small fingers.

Baltimore’s Teeth Mountain create pulsing, shamanistic, tribal-sounding tracks from a bunch of floor toms, cello, mandolins, keyboards, saws, and whatever else they can get their hands on. The chaotic music they make is noisy, roughly-hewn, and impulsive-sounding, but that seems to be the point. They’re trying to evoke a sort of post-apocalyptic primitivism. It will be interesting to see where this collective takes their aesthetic.
