a visual collective outlet of inspiration
roy kafri takes on classic vinyl covers and brings them to life in bizarre and eerily seamless way. kafri has created an entire music video elevating the art of the gif, a perfect homage to the music we all grew up listening to. by sp
album covers
in our ears
this is ‘theme no.1’ by balmorhea, off their ‘rivers arms’ album. it is rare these days that we come across such ambient, nostalgic, mood moving music. i can put this on repeat, it’s that good.
unfortunately, this youtube video is not the official video for the track but it still delivers the score for you to mellow out to. it also may make you want to watch gus van sant’s ‘good will hunting.’ to hear more checkout their website here. enjoy. by kgb
wish you were here
this is absolutely one of our favorite album covers. one man on fire, the other not–floyd’s idea that you can be burned at any given moment, so you should conceal your real feelings. a little known fact, the burning man IS actually on fire; before the shoot, he prepped by wearing an asbestos suit and a wig, then dousing himself with gasoline and lighting a match. certainly going to lengths for a good reason, any pink floyd fan would agree. the cover was designed by hipgnosis, the english art design group who specialized in rock albums. by nk + sv

the smiths – this charming man
i was never the biggest fan of the smiths (sometimes remind me of kate bush…) but i have to say i love the fact they used this photo of jean marais by jean cocteau without permission… even if the damn thing was taken out of circulation really quick and replaced with something else… and about the original artwork, well… it’s very the smiths 😉 by pp + ps

SUICIDE: alan vega + martin rev

Fever Ray
i went to the fever ray concert at webster hall last night, and it was absolutely amazing. the stage, the costumes, the lasers (i know, lasers!) and the music…it all turned webster hall into a bit of a haunted house. swedish fever ray is the singer in the knife, and her nordic voice is so soulful and raw i can’t help but think of a medieval witch, in a good way! if fever ray is coming to a stage near you, go! by kv
