OWL permalinkOWL contain many trifectas of greatness. Three cute girls: Anna, Milou & Fan Fan. Three descriptions of what they sound like (taken from their MySpace): Heartache/Heart break/Frail hope. And three, well, five influences: The Jesus & Mary Chains/My Bloody Valentine/New Order/Suicide/Mazzy Star. It’s safe to say that they had us with their picture, but their shoegazey, vocals-buried-in-the-mix, sortakinda japanese pop is what sealed the deal.

Camilla Engman permalinkCamilla Engman grew up in a small Swedish town called Trollhättan, which sort of sounds like a magical Manhattan-like place inhabited by busy trolls - just sayin’. Cultural considerations aside, Engman’s eye for little details is something to admire.

Absolut Choir permalinkFor the life of us we can’t figure out what the tie-in to Absolut is, but they sure are getting behind some amazing technology. The Absolut Choir allows you to interact with a 22 different characters, each having their own synthetic voice. You type in words or phrases and the “choir” will sing, depending on the sentiment of what you’ve typed. All of this is viewed live on the web via 4 webcams. Next level. (Via VLU.) |

Cheap Monday Expands permalinkEveryone has a pair of their jeans and now that they’re expanding with winter jackets, pvc pants and a wide variety of cuts and colors in their newest collection, Cheap Monday are definitely on a roll. That’s why I find this interview of theirs so interesting to watch as they detail exactly how they first got started and describe how far they’ve come from just a shop their friends would frequent for a quick denim fix. |
