The Breezeway

While Mr. D. Shrigley has been busy making tunes recently, November also sees the return of the mighty Shabazz… (Berghain Kantine, Nov. 14), and by the way: the new video to “Motion Sickness” is epic indeed.

PSYCHEDELIC MARVELS

If you thought that psychedelic cover art was a thing of the past (hold on, make that cover art, full stop) – think again, because everything is ripe for a comeback sooner or later these days.
