Dert / Talk Strange

Dert’s Talk Strange has just been made available for free download and it is AMAZING. 17 tracks made from Bjork samples and remixes.

Now I know what you’re thinking – believe me I haaaate 99.9% of the mash-up/remix albums I am sent (and I’m sent A LOT) but anyone who heard Dert’s previous release re-working of Jose González knows this is worth a listen – especially when the cost is free.99!

Elspeth Diederix

These photographs by Elspeth Diederix are high up on my list of favourite work. She calls herself a photographer but her photos feel more like documentations of very site-specific sculptures and performances.

Fever Ray / If I Had a Heart

Incredible new video for Fever Ray’s If I Had a Heart, directed by Andreas Nilsson. Fever Ray is the solo project of Karin Dreijer Andersson, from The Knife (one of my favourite groups).

Thanks to Blair for the heads up.
