news from not not fun



Wet Hair Radiant Lines


Apart from appearing on the front cover of a music magazine, Not Not Fun have released the latest 7" by Dylan Ettinger, Lion Of Judah and an artbook/7" by Wet Hair. Both of them look great. Dylan Ettinger follows his way into melancholic dubby synth-pop and Wet Hair gives us two hypnotising drums/synth tracks like they use to. NNF still is one my favourite records label now.

pwrshare.info




Hanna Terese Nilsson and Rasmus Emanuel Svensson have launched a new website pwrshare.info which is the digital version of pwr paper. I talked about it a month ago. In their own words: "PWRSHARE.INFO is a data haven, content farm and file-sharing site." It works like a virtual gallery showing radical artists from Goodiepal, Aaron Graham or Brenna Murphy, most of them exploring the possibilities of technology to create through various means (internet, sculpture, music...).

Like everybody else I post this video but I just truly like their sounds and visuals since years. This video was directed by Shoji Goto (Boredoms), who has also realised a video for OOIOO in 2OO7. Mind killa is an extract from Gang Gang Dance next album.

grouper


I've always loved Grouper (Liz Harris) but I haven't had the pleasure to see her live. Her albums are really great, from Way Their Crept to her last one Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill. This is haunting, dark and strange music. The video is an amazing live performance recorded this year.

yoshi sodeoka: psychedelic death vomit (slight return) 3d


Amazing video by Yoshi Sodeoka, a visual artist and mucisian. This video was made with the anaglyph technique. This is really crazy. Go here for more.

wet hair: in vogue spirit


This is an extract from the next Wet Hair album In Vogue Spirit on De Stijl records. Wet Hair was formed by Shawn Reed and Ryan Garbes. The noise duo seems to get closer to lighter, almost danceable and hypnotic tunes. In addition, Shawn Reed who is also a graphic designer, responsible for album artworks on his own record label Night People, expose his work with the Montreal based artists Seripop in the canadian city this month.
