Wall To Wall

Catch this if you can. An installation by Raw Edges Design Studio for British furniture playboys Established & Sons. On view until 24th November at Established's LIMITED gallery in Mayfair.

Isla

Great artwork for Isla, the new album from the truly incredible Portico Quartet. Seriously, you need this band in your life. Listen here and here.

More from Mr. Schostock. This is a link to much interesting work from his studio {ths}. Thomas also co-founded the Cape Arcona Type Foundry which is worth a peep. Smoe great free fonts available to download.

Love this dude (Thomas Schostock)'s jounal/sketchbook excerpts from Devora Ran. Reminded me to do more hands on collaging/photocopying/drawing/ripping/sticking like the good old college days. Too often I, for one, head straight to my faithful Mac nowadays. Long live the archaic and analogue. Get your pencils out. Ahem.

Love Me or Fuck me but don't do both

Detail from Cedric Christie's exhibition at Flowers East Gallery on Kingsland Road. It's Christie's first solo UK show and runs until 14th November. You can read more here and here.

Turn The Page

Banging track. Sick video. 'Namida' by Swiss/Japanese duo TIM & PUMA MIMI.

Justified

Excellent posters/flyers for East London collective Bad Passion Project. I love them. Really refreshing and unusual 1940's coastal holiday resort / Japanese thing going on. Can't put my finger on it. You can see the whole set here. No idea who designs them? Mail me.

Cold Cave

My new favourite band. I could immediately pick out a ton of influences when I listened to Cold Cave and almost dismissed them straight away. Then I realised I loved all of said influences. I have listened to the tracks on their MySpace over and over. Am excited to hear more and hopefully catch them live. They're playing Proud Gallery Saturday night (November 7th) so get down there if you can. It's a phat night anyway.

Stated influences:
1) Pamela Ludwig as "Cory" in Over The Edge (1979)
2) Laurie Bird as "The Girl" in Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)
3) Barbara Hershey as "Sandy" in Last Summer (1969)
4) Linda Manz as "Cebe" in Out of the Blue (1980)

And some stuff I can hear:
New Order and Joy Division, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Errors, Air, Kraftwerk, Cut Copy, Baby Dayliner, Fuck Buttons, Fischerspooner, Flying Lotus, Charles de Goal...

Prety tasty collage too.

Olivier Kosta-Thefaine

Olivier Kosta-Thefaine composes his works using the flame of a lighter applied to ceilings. You can read in detail on Yatzer.

Ay Ay Ay

Minimal giants Kompakt are just about to release Ay Ay Ay by Matias Aguyayo in the UK. The album has gained a certain mainstream interest due to the fact that Aguyayo predominantly uses his voice as an instrument throughout. But this stretches way beyond novelty in to a complex and surprisingly relaxed, enjoyable and easy listen. You can listen to the album in full courtesy of Clash.

Lubalin Now

The opening reception for a badass Typography exhibition at the Cooper Union, celebrating the opening of the Herb Lubalin Study Center of design and Typography, is free and open to the public. Should you happen to be in New York this Thursday then I seriously recommend dropping in. Lots of amazing work on show including this piece by favourites of mine - Non-Format. Read more and find out details here.

A Growing Pile of Work

A Growing Pile of Work - Directed by Siggi Eggertsson. Music by Johnny Sexual.

Siggi Says - "This is a video that is made from over 400 images that I created from 2003-2009. Bits and pieces from commercial, rejected and personal projects. I had been collecting all those images to use in a completely different project, but then discovered that they could look great in animation too. After painful days in After Effects, fighting with all those 400 layers (and nearly killing my computer), the video was complete."

Let's Get Heavy

Some Type of Wonderful is a limited edition 2010 calendar from Lifelounge, who invited 12 of the most talented up and coming, big guns of illustration and typography. It's awesome and you can buy it online at lifelounge.com. This is one of my favourites - October by Siggi Eggertsson.
