Violet Eyes In Black & White
My Gold Mask are a Chicago band that I’ve had my eyes (and ears) on for the past few months. We posted their cover of Bette Davis Eyes over the summer and they’ve recently released their sophomore effort, an EP titled A Thousand Voices. I finally got the chance to see My Gold Mask live […]
It Hurts
Early 2009 I came across a video on YouTube for a song titled Wonderful Life by a band named Hurts. It was absolutely mesmerizing, a mixture of stark stoicism and new wave Romanticism, expertly art directed and painfully stylish in black & white. Unable to find much of any info on the band at the […]
Stick Up For Yourself Son
Yeasayer are back with a new track titled, Ambling Alp. It’s been gaining a lot of attention lately, and for good reason—this song is amazing. Now they’ve hit us with a video, directed by Radical Friend, and it’s nothing short of brilliant. The melting sky face is my favorite part. If you’d like to peep […]
Watch Me Slip Down The Rabbit Hole
I like fashion lookbooks, and lately I have really been drawn to lookbook videos, such as the ones by Acne Underwear and now Chris & Tibor. They are like beautiful little abstract films and sometimes they have equally beautiful soundtracks. In this case it’s the serene shoegazer, Digital Suicide Lullaby, by Heartsrevolution.

Bauby, then Editor-In-Chief of French Elle, suffered a massive stroke and awoke to find himself afflicted with a rare form of paralysis called locked-in-syndrome. Mentally aware, but physically […]
We Love Indiepop & Giraffe
If you read yesterday’s Dead and Gone post and thought it a bit out of leftfield, then this post should tie up all the loose ends.
A few weeks back I was sent an email introducing a fantastic small press print publication meets music project titled Merci Magazine from Japanese indiepop label, abcdefg*. Limited to 500 […]
Dead and Gone
I strongly believe that your insights and opinions are the collective result of your life experiences. The things that we are interested in, and seek out, in turn form our unique viewpoints on related topics. You might say that everything that CreamTeam is, came from a short-lived (but still archived) little blog about my other […]
Make Me Feel Safe
Did you know WhoMadeWho had a new album out? Not only do they have a new album out (titled The Plot), but it came out months ago. There’s been quite a few remixes floating around of the title track, but all sources considered, this album is being majorly slept on. I admittedly only got a […]
