The Skull Defekts
by
Daniel Higgs is the new frontman for Swedish experimental rock band The Skull Defekts. This makes me happy. Their latest album, Peer Amid, is out on Thrill Jockey and the band is touring. This is a lot more ‘rock’ than the other stuff Higgs has been up to lately, and there’s a ’90s vibe to the new line-up of the band, but I still dig it. It kinda makes me hope there will be a Lungfish reunion soon.

Surreal sculptures by Ben Wheele
Honestly, writing about art (and music, for that matter) is kind of an awful task because good art speaks for itself. Such is the case with Ben Wheele’s surreal sculptures and videos. I use the word ‘surreal’ to describe 90% of the art I like not because I’m a lazy writer, but because there’s really not much more to say, and I like surreal and grotesque shit. Read more
