alexandra hope | invisible sunday

last month i wrote about my very talented and busy friend alia raza, who had just directed a music video for the band known as violens. i still think that is one of the best names ever.
well, perhaps because we've known each other for 25 years, she has kindly worked some of my duskin pieces into her newest music video project for the song "invisible sunday," by alexandra hope, an artist on the label manimal vinyl. these are stills pulled from the shoot, and they are

just.

so.

amazing.

the video and album of the same name will debut in february, so please check back, as i'll be posting it here.

jane- thank you so much for sending me this video. it's gorgeous and incredibly inspiring. first aid kit, from sweden, covering a fleet foxes song (a band that i am going to look up next). these girls are sisters. can you believe they are only 15 and 17? and why wasn't i born with this talent?

the song starts at around 01:24, and it's so lovely to watch him sing, so lovely to see the colors. for a second, i felt like i was really there.

I CAN LISTEN TO THIS SONG BY FERRABY LIONHEART ALL DAY. AND I DO.

don't save us from the flames

NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHY, BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PRINT FROM CHRISTOPHER DAVID RYAN, I HEAR THE M83 SONG, "DON'T SAVE US FROM THE FLAMES."
BOTH ARE REALLY DREAMY, AND BOTH THE PRINT AND THE VIDEO ARE BELOW.
I FOUND CD RYAN THROUGH MY FRIEND DEENA, WHO HAS A DESIGN STUDIO CALLED SOUTH KENT WYTHE, IN BROOKLYN (I'LL LINK TO HER SITE ONCE IT'S GONE LIVE OFFICIALLY).

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THIS BRILLIANCE?
I REMEMBER PLAYING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
