• There is a crack in everything // Juliana Santacruz Herrera

  I have a huge crush on artist Juliana Santacruz Herrera. A parisian artist, she fills the holes in sidewalks with beautiful colored yarn. I love the idea of taking something damaged & making it beautiful just as much as I adore any form of public art.

• Record Essentials // Required Listening

  This is a great week for music. Snowden is back, Bibio has a new record, Wild Nothing is still happening, and Beach House and My Bloody Valentine are playing FYF Fest.  Celebration. Essential listening for this week:

  File under: So Fun.

  Classix | Hanging Gardens

   

  This Los Angeles DJ duo takes a minute from remixing the likes of Yacht and Mayer Hawthorne to focus on their debut album. Released this week to much applause, ”Hanging Gardens”  features 12 carefree, yet wistful tracks to perfectly soundtrack your summer road trip or pool party. (If you’re into pool parties.)

  

  Listen HERE

  Standout tracks: Holding On, Hanging Gardens, Dominoes, A Fax From The Beach, and Long Lost (feat. Active Child)

   

   

  File Under: So Sexy.

  Standish/Carlyon | Deleted Scenes

   

  “Deleted Scene” is pretty much the sexiest record to happen to 2013. Between the vampiric-pop vocals, muddy bass lines, and vast synth-scapes, this album is a plunge into a dark, dubbed out world enveloped in a veil of smoke.  Seriously, it’s like a late night hang on the other side and everyone is dressed in Ann Demeulemeester. (We love it.) Learn more here and see them live at Glasslands on May 30th opening for The Field.

  

  Listen HERE
  Standout tracks:  Critics Murphy, Feb Love, Aqua Valerie, Subliminally

  File Under: So Good.

  Snowden |  No One in Control

  This is an album to be (very) excited about. It took six years for Snowden to follow up the acclaimed debut “Anti - Anti” and well worth the wait. “No One in Control” has all the melodic, harmonic, fuzzed out, dissonant layers that make Jordan Jeffares’ band so unique but with whole new level of maturity.  Here’s to being refined while keeping your edge.

  

  Listen HERE
  Stand out tracks: No One in Control, So Red, Candy for Everyone, No Words No More

  Also: wow, this cover.

• It’s not a new band, but a band that never ever has left my heart. They make me feel like I can breathe in cold air & breathe out flowers.

• Designer Crush // Ovate

  Ovate is a line out of Montreal that consists of leather, silk, silver & dark energy mixed with elegance. Because most designs are created by hand, they have an ancient look to them, while the modern cuts make them both flattering & timeless.
  
  I love the power this clothing / jewelry exudes & am already making a wish list.

• KTCHN // RYAN HEFFINGTON + NOLAN HENDRICKSON // WORLD PREMIER

  This weekend marks the opening of Ryan Heffington’s amazing new dance installation inspired by the paintings of Nolan Hendrickson. The performance will kick off with a super sweet VIP opening this Friday, May 3rd (info below).
  

  Not your typical night at the theater, the evening length performance will also feature opportunities for audience engagement. Thematically, the show will explore celebrity culture, human loneliness, public versus private image and new elements of drag and queer culture. Bridging the gap between a dance performance, a contemporary art exhibition, a fashion show, and a killer dance party – KTCHN continues Ryan Heffington’s artistic trajectory towards becoming a culturally defining American artist, as well as arbiter of all that is strange, beautiful and “must-­‐see” in Los Angeles.
