The Postmarks cover One-Note Samba
by I came across this band a couple of years ago, via KCRW’s Top Tunes podcast (which is great, as it gives you a free song every day handpicked by their amazing DJs). The tune that drew me in was their rendition of One-Note Samba. But I hadn’t delved into their discography until last week. This makes for a perfect Summer’s soundtrack, with Tim Yehezkely’s soft vocals, which can be just as melancholic as uplifting and carefree, depending on the mood of the song.

Beautiful dresses by Katie Louise Ford
I was on the hunt for the perfect red swing dress, when I first came across Katie Louise Ford’s work. Her gorgeous dresses are inspired by classic children’s books, and the sweetly nostalgic era of the forties and fifties. I also love her blog, filled with lots of gorgeous things that inspire her, some unusual dressmaking projects, and lovely photography. Read more

Artist Aaron Smith creates manly portraits of men that existed back in the old days. His bright colors give these vintage men a fresh look. I saw one of his recent shows in New York and the surface of his paintings are thick with textured paint. Wonderful work. Read more

Austin band The Low Lows are one of my most prized finds of the year so far. It’s introspective music — staggered harmonies delivered by a distant, agonised voice that filters through a wall of tranquil guitar distortion and measured drumming. Every instrument carries a powerful emotion, sometimes keeping their distance from one another, floating up and around the airwaves, and other times colliding and crashing back to earth.
