Mixed Tapes: The Drums

In Mixed Tapes on August 18, 2010 at 9:19 PM

The drums are the classic glass soda bottle in an isle of canned pops. Childhood friends, Jonathan Pierce and Jacob Graham, are the base of the catchy indie pop band The Drums. Since Summer Camp the band has not only added two new members, Adam Kessler and Connor Hanwick, but transformed every single one of their concerts into a 50’s dance party. Roll up your jeans, spike the fruit punch and get ready to wear out your oxford’s soles. Sputnik, who?

The London based brand Antipodium creates fashion for the fiercely individualistic, effortlessly cool and unapologetically confident crowd. Whoever that is. Antipodium’s Aussie creative director, Geoffrey J. Finch, has reflected his pop culture inspired surroundings, rural childhood and effervescent artistic neighborhood of Shoreditch into his creations. Antipodium is not only known for having on-point party wear and much needed basics with a twist but mostly for its playful use of Australian iconography and catchy garment names. Finch is infamous for his  ‘No Romance’ parties, but his A/W 10 “Brides of Christ” Collection with sheer fabrics, asymmetry and velvet bodysuits has managed to overcome it. Amen.

Mixed Tapes: Behavior

In Mixed Tapes on July 16, 2010 at 4:20 PM

Behavior’s music is not only a faint secondary image produced by a fault in an optical system or internal reflection in a mirror or camera. It is a compound of bewildering layers of amplified murmurs, ghostly synths, stringed shades and chamberous drums. The native New Yorkers Bryce Hackford, Ian Campbell and L.A transplant Khira Jordan are the culprits behind the slow pop that will leave listeners in a state of stunned confusion and bewilderment.
Dazed and Confused yet?
