This awesome animation by Bang-yao Liu was for his senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design and is framed around the idea that: ‘every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline’.

This short film was borne from six of the tracks on the new Royksopp album Senior and directed by Noel Paul and Stefan Moore of ThatGo. Shot on location in Detroit, Röyksopp’s Svein Berge and Tobjørn Brundtland said it left them in a ‘bewildered state, that confusing feeling one gets when exposed to something uneasy yet pleasing, after watching the final product’.

Norwegian electro-pioneers Röyksopp have recently released Senior, the counterpart to last year’s brilliant Junior. More introspective and freeform than its poppier partner, and fully instrumental, Svein Berge and Torbjorn Brundtland recorded Senior at the same time as Junior and it finds Royksopp in musical voice. Again!

I couldn’t care less about Royksopp, and I have a knee-jerk aversion to Burning Man, but this video pretty much encapsulates what I want my life to be like in the future.

For the video for their latest single, This Must Be It, Norwegian uber-producers Röyksopp ditched the futuristic stylings and went back to their … ah … roots. Or at least, the roots of a motley collection of tribal dancers. Interesting.

Royksopp’s brilliant 2002 single, Epie [below], set the sonic template for their uplifting, bouncy, and treble note based electro sound. The Norwegian group are back again with a cool video for their new single, Happy Up There, which is taken from their latest album, Junior! The clip was directed by Reuben Sutherlan.

Gargamel is like the foreign exchange student you are in love with. I don’t understand anything that the Gargamel website is saying, but its photos are beautiful. I have not seen a finer manufacturer of vinyl toys. I hope one day to own them all.
Sparks’ album Kimono My House is a demented mix of hard rock, pop, glam, new wave, and baroque pop. Why this record never caught on in the States I’ll never know. The songs will get stuck in your head and prevent you from sleeping. Oh yeah, and the keyboard player has a nice mustache too, as evidenced by this track above — This Town Ain’t Big Enough.

Tallest Man on Earth, the rasping Swedish folk singer-songwriter and one of the unsung heroes of 2008, recently recorded the beautiful song A Field of Birds, a nice adjunct to his summer album release, Shallow Grave. His sound is so loose and unmanicured, and carries a poignancy reminiscent of the rusty, early Bob Dylan.
