Melody's Echo Chamber - Cross My Heart

Melody Prochet fans will often admit they discovered the French songstress through Kevin Parker of Tame Impala. Parker produced Prochet’s band’s eponymous debut album in 2012, infusing the tracks with his well-known psychedelic influence.  News of a new record by Melody’s Echo Chamber titled Bon Voyage (coming out this Spring) has been the subject of nervous reception due to Parker no longer working with the band. Apprehension is understandable—we have every right to contextualize music by understanding an artist’s past work and affiliations.

Chambray for what? Chambray with everything. Eventually it won’t be cold outside and you can wear the J. Crew Chambray Regent Blazer as a light jacket. Wouldn’t that be nice? Imagine a world where you didn’t have to dig your car out from under 40 centimetres of snow? Imagine a place so magical that December – April were warm and sunny instead of this chilly hellhole we see outside right now?

Gravity Pope: Nudie Jean’s Lean Dean

In 1871 two dudes were all like, “We are sooooo done with trousers. We want to look rad and be comfortable.” Thus, jeans were born. Jeans have come a long way since Levi Strauss and Jacob W.

With Gravity Pope’s Nudie Jean’s Lean Dean jeans (say that with a mouth full of cinnamon!), you get a classic look with a tapered leg and a zip fly. That’s right, a zip fly because button fly is dumb.

Aries

Ever wonder how actual sails stay intact? I mean, they’re just pieces of fabric fastened to a mast by string. And yet they’re just there, getting weathered and enduring. It’s pretty cool. Admirable, even. But what’s even more cool is a monorail system. If you don’t believe, watch that episode of The Simpsons.

The Gaze | Rituals

A ritual, according to its generic definition, refers to "any practice or pattern of behavior regularly performed in a set manner." And sure, when applied to the arts, one could make a parallel with an artist's creative process. That's exactly what Jeremy Boleyn and Kristofer Dompierre's new exhibition - and first of a series - is all about: exploring rituals as a creative process accompanying the artists until the work's completion.
