308. WHILE ...

308.

'While I think: here I lie under a haystack... 

The tiny bit of space I occupy is so minute in comparison

with the rest of the universe, where I am not and which is

not concerned with me; and the period of time in which it is
my lot to live is so infinitesimal compared with the eternity in
which I have not and shall not be ... And yet here, in this 

atom which is myself, in this mathematical point, blood 

circulates, the brain operates and aspires to something too ...

What a monstrous business! What futility!'

{Ivan Turgenev, Fathers and Sons}

307. PSYCHIC DANCEHALL "WHITE CITY"

i'm digging the pre-raphaelite meets burlesque styled cover art for "Dreamers"!

307.

Despite the gaiety in his voice, the last word 

fell heavily on the room and silence closed over it.

{Simone de Beauvoir, She Came To Stay}

306. COOL ANGELS "R U REAL?"

Gem Club - 252

306. I ...

306.

I see the terrifying spaces of the universe
hemming me in, and I find myself attached to
one corner of this vast expanse without knowing
why I have been put in this place rather than that, 
or why the brief span of life allotted to me should
be assigned to one moment rather than another
of all the eternity which went before me and all
that which will come after me.

{Blaise Pacal, Pensées}

305. GLASS VAULTS "GOLDEN"!!!

it was about time the antipodes came back onto the radar et this just happens to coincide with the welcome et triumphant return of Glass Vaults!!!

ATTENTION!: to fully 'experience' this next track you're gonna need to shut yourself away somewhere dark et very quiet for the next seven minutes with a pair of airtight headphones.

shimmery, tremolo-swooning chords drip with melancholy et resound into the ether, a Thom Yorke-esque lament gives way to swirly, disorienting atmospherics before leading into a sonic free-fall, the prelude to a dense, blurry et blinding luminescent abyss, that finally absorbs us whole. welcome to the epic, spaced-out reverie Golden, the mindblowing opening track from uber-talented Wellington-based electro/ambient pop duo Glass Vaults {Richard Larsen & Rowan Pierce} off their sublime follow up EP "Into Clear" (2011).


MP3: Golden

i fervently urge you to purchase the sublime masterpiece that is the "Into Clear" EP, it's out now on Jukebox, available on limited edition 12", 300 copies worldwide only, first 50 on green vinyl et the other 250 on classic black, so get in quick! there is also a cd release et digital download via bandcamp {be generous these guys deserve it!}.

305. SUDDENLY ...

305.

Suddenly these reflections were ended violently

and yet without a sound.

{Virginia Woolf, The Lady In The Looking Glass}
