Photography: Internal Debate by Inna Mosina
Photographer: Inna Mosina ( Instagram ) The colors and elements that make up Inna Mosina’s photos place emphasis on the significance of each work, as well as the faces of the women portrayed. The subjects of Mosina’s pictures are those of women who represent contemporary Russian culture; these are dreamy women, reflective and melancholic, often suspended in undefined expressions, they have faces that allow the viewer to create a world beyond what’s seen on the surface of the photo. Mosina creates images full of pathos that begs the need to tell a feminine story. Mosina’s strength lies in channeling her communication with the outside world through photography. Although she…

Drunk Mums: Promise, Potential, Substance
Drunk Mums Promise, Potential, Substance By Jay Armstrong Albeit ideal, with how syrupy their self-titled album was in 2012 there seemed only two directions Drunk Mums could go; off to the forgotten edges of rock n roll existence, rubbing shoulders with the likes of bands such as Milk N Cookies who got it right once and through fate or bad luck rode into the sunset never to see time chip away at the facade as is with the precedent statically seen even on the fringes of the status quo, or they would manage to hang around for a few albums continuing to water down the elements of our initial…

Artist Spotlight: Ina Lounguine – Staring Quietly at the Backwash
Staring Quietly at the Backwash Artist: Ina Lounguine ( Instagram ) Within the past few years Europe has seen mass human migrations, due to chaos and civil wars all across northern Africa and the Middle-East – Syria especially. Staring Quietly At The Backwash is a sensorial take on analyzing the crisis currently occurring in Europe, where thousands of refugees are trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea. Blending photography, video and sound, this project offers different degrees of perception, proposing a different read into the matter. Holiday pictures stand alongside large smiles, cut out portraits of all the European leaders who have been in power since war started in…

Short Story: The Portrait Artist by Oliver Lodge
The Portrait Artist by Oliver Lodge It had been an especially long, dark winter until that day in late February when the sun shined especially bright, melting the snow so rapidly that one’s socks absorbed the musty vapors of heat that rose from the ground. The streets, each one representing a tendril of Manhattan’s rumpled brow, perspired rivulets the color of caramel against the dappled tar. Down the gutter and through the cracks in the overburdened ground they made their descent, emptying out here and there onto the subway tracks where an occasional rat would scurry from one crevice to the next between the rails. On the subway platform stood…
Infinite Dreams: Slowdive’s “Star Roving” by Trish Connelly
After a 22 year hiatus from new material by Slowdive, the band has still managed to create soundscapes that succeed in being unrestricted, boundless yet refined in their lush and layered brand new track for “Star Rover”. Slowdive know exactly how to build a celestial atmosphere, an aural landscape that’s not quite of this world, but a place their listeners aspire to dream and drift off to. Nathan David Smith’s visuals for “Star Rover”‘s video paint a transcendental portrait, constantly shifting and pulsating with shapes just out of grasp, never lingering long enough to let you confine and define exactly what you’re experiencing. [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogCih4OavoY[/embedyt] The band has also…
