Obsession O’ The Week #23 – Seabear

When one thinks of Iceland, icebergs, hot springs and indie music usually stand out. However sad being so rapidly circumspected might sound to any Icelander reading this, it is still way preferable than being known as those rather mature-looking hockey villains from the ever-so kitsch and abyssal depths of Emilio Estevez’s post-Robert Hugues career, but then again, who would remember that!

The brightest star shining upon the septentrional capital music scene these past few years is arguibly Reykjavik’s own Seabear. They are to Iceland what Beck is to America, adding a subtle yet enticing lo-fi filter to their moody folk music! Even though, they’ve been out there for quite some time, their second LP, We Built a Fire,  hitting the shelves this week and their upcoming performance at Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern on March 31st prompted us to introduce Sigfusson & Co to you officially.

Ergo, here’s I Sing, I Swim off their debut album, The Ghost That Carried Us Away, enjoy!

Ring Ring!

World premiere at 11:30pm EST? We don’t think so! For all of you that were waiting for GaGa‘s video for Telephone, here’s what you’ve been waiting for, a few hours ahead of schedule!

Obsession O’ The Week #22 – Delphic

We’ve found this Manchester-based collective in the summer of 2009, but with the recent launch of their first album, Acolyte, we have decided to introduce them to you! With a sound that reminds us of the magnificient Animal Collective and intriguing videos, they are sure to make their way to your nearest hipster outpost anytime soon…

Without further ado, here’s Delphic with This Momentary.

Words of WisDhomme

Here’s a great interview with the legend that is Yours Truly‘s favourite desginer, Hedi Slimane, in which he describes his views on the digital revolution of fashion, the silhouette that defined his spectacular tenures at both YSL and Dior Homme and, of course, his possible return to design!

Unfortunately for us, his answer regarding the latter stays the same…

Obsession O’ The Week #21 – Winter Gloves

We knew about this band for quite a while, but they simply blew our mind at a recent show in Quebec City which prompted us to make them this week’s OOTW! The fact that the lead singer has a glowing tambourine alone was enough to get our attention, but we stayed for their synth-driven melodies and their use of the,wait for it… xylophone!

Without further ado, here are Winter Gloves with Invisible from their upcoming LP due out in September.
