Flying Lotus released his brilliant »Until The Quiet Comes« album almost two years ago, but the material is still as good as ever in 2014. Now FlyLo released a visual for the Laura Darlington-featured »Phantasm« directed by Markus Hofko.
In November 2013, Ian Strange (previously) in collaboration with cinematographer Alun ‚Albol‘ Bollinger (Lord of the Rings, Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners) created three new film and photography based artworks incorporating four suburban homes in Christchurch, New Zealand. These homes were located in Christchurch’s residential »Red Zone«, an area containing over 16,000 houses slated for demolition after the devastating 2011 earthquake. Final Act is in part an emotive archive of these Christchurch homes and a continuation of the artist’s ongoing exploration of the social and emotional icon of the home. Watch the video.

Mike Hewson’s public installation series Homage To The Lost Spaces on buildings that are listed for imminent demolition is a wonderful example for re-urbanizing cultural spaces. The rest of the world should be imitating this!

Car wrecks, discarded furniture and bulky items of any kind barricaded a central city street in Wellington, New Zealand on Sunday 14th December 2008, from midnight to midnight. This rather gorgeous intervention was created by British artists Heather and Ivan Morison as part of the One Day Sculpture series.

»Based on a True Story« gehört vielleicht zu den wichtigsten Alben dieses Jahrzehnts. Eine Offenbarung, die lange bei mir nachgewirkt hat und bis heute locker jede andere Platte vom Teller schupst. Kurzum: ein Klassiker. 2005 war das. Im Juli 09 erscheint nun endlich das zweite Studioalbum des neuseeländischen Septetts Fat Freddy’s Drop. »Dr. Boondigga & The Big BW« heißt der Longplayer. Die ersten Songs davon gibt es auf FatSpace zu hören. Freuen darf man sich auch auf Fatfreddysdrop.tv, dem eigenen Videoportal der Band. Ist zwar noch eine Baustelle, bin aber mal gespannt, ob das Schule macht. Und für Leute mit Rillenfieber: Das Artwork des Vinyls ist spektakulär. Pflichtkauf sowieso.
From the underground to the higher-ground, Fat Freddy’s Drop is the South Pacific soul monster doing it for the love of music, and food!
