MONDAY MUSIC: LOWER DENS

In honour of tonight’s gig at West Germany in Berlin: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Baltimore’s Lower Dens.

MONDAY MUSIC: MODESELEKTOR WITH THOM YORKE

I’m not sure how puppets relate to the content of This, the new single of Berlin’s thumping Modeselektor with vocals by none other than Thom Yorke, but then again, who cares? It’s a surprisingly great track, with pretty visuals courtesy of Brighton-based futuredeluxe.

MONDAY MUSIC: KING CREOSOTE VERSUS KING KRULE

Two kings for a Monday is not a bad start into the week at all, we thinks.

Anyway, local folk-pop outfit Noughts and Exes are a slightly more [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO

Damn, this is amazing – visually, sonically – perfect.

TUESDAY MUSIC: NILS FRAHM

I photographed Berlin-based label Erased Tapes last week, which is a fine example of an independent record label in the 21st century. Consistently carving out their niche between electronica and classical and ambient music for five years, it’s a wholesome approach to music: production, packaging, videos – everything is produced with equal love for detail [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: SOKO

Soko.

MONDAY MUSIC: BON IVER

Yet another beautiful video for the latest single Towers by Bon Iver…
