The word on the street is that this enigmatic foursome from Detroit, Michigan, is putting the finishing touches on their long-awaited second full-length album. Their quality-over-quantity approach has produced a meticulously-crafted catalogue which is compact, yet sonically rich with soaring electronic rock that will leave you jonesing for more. That said, hurry the hell up [...]

I recently came across this photo essay by Detroit photographer/archivist Robert Monaghan, though it was apparently put together a few years ago. There are a lot of cool and/or hilarious compositions among these, and overall this set makes for a pretty unbeatable snapshot of Reagan-era Detroit decay, twenty-something public intoxication, and the unfortunate smearing of some poor girl named Candy Berkeley.

People have been arsoning their houses to collect insurance. Artist Catie Newell, in collaboration with nonprofit Imagination Station, has embarked on a project called Salvaged Landscapes [...]

When i was a kid, I thought graffiti was awesome. Not much has changed. I also thought it would be awesome to paint my parent’s living room. They refused, repeatedly. RETNA and Richard Colman probably shared the same dream. Only, in place of the Black Flag bars that would’ve landed me in military school, they dreamed in lush calligraphy and bold geometrics.

Detroit is fast becoming a city with a reputation for being one of the most dangerous metropolises in America and a population that has been decreasing every year since 1960. Strange then to hear such fun, bubbly, electronic music, such as the kind Lord Scrummage (part of the art collective Scrummage University) makes.
