Swedish songwriter Kissey: new single Cry
by Last spring, I was so taken by Kissey’s melancholic vocal take of Creep, I contacted her to find out more. As fate would have it, the Swedish vocalist/songwriter was crafting her new album in Manhattan, 10 blocks away from my apartment at the time.
I went over for a cup of tea and ended up with a one-way ticket to Kisseyland, lost for hours in her new funkdafied electronic pop creations. Since her debut album (Plethora on R2), Kissey dedicated the last few years to the art of beat-making, and the results are aimed straight at the moon: cosmic 4/4 pop that she sings, produces and masters all on her own. You can get a feel for her production style with the darkly-tinged Cry, available for free on her Soundcloud.

Artist Aerosyn-Lex’s famous Playboy Feature (NSFW)
Aerosyn-Lex Mestrovic is one of few artists that truly keep the old New York spirit of reinvention alive. I’m always hit with Lex’s wild style through the visual direction of our art/music record label Earnest Endeavours. But at any given moment, Lex might be coming out of a Jeff Koons group exhibition, or I’ll read about a benefit tee he designed for Urban Youth NYC. Read more

Ok, so maybe it’s the extra-strong Brooklyn coffee I’m drinking or perhaps its that the pine coated goodness of Christmas is well and truly in the air, but I’m kinda excited this morning as my wife has just launched her website, Feature Shoot, which is a resource for photo editors, art directors, industry professionals, and pretty much anyone who appreciates good photography. It’s a great way to discover new photographic talent and the website is already bursting with interviews with up-and-coming American photographers alongside that of established photographers who have completed a project or whose work has taken on a new direction.
With Lungfish guitarist Asa Osborne’s latest project, Zomes, he continues to explore loops and cycles with endlessly repeating musical phrases, this time played on circuit-bent keyboards. The resulting tracks sound at times like medieval court music at others like the soundtrack to a Hal Hartley movie.
