I Don't Want To Know What You Did Before

Occupying a point on the musical spectrum somewhere between Ms Mr, Ghost Loft and Until The Ribbon Breaks, it was never going to take long for New York duo to nuzzle their way into my affections.

Backed by one of my favourite new music sources, Neon Gold, the 'mysterious' New York duo (groogh) produce pop music that's doused with shimmering synths and underpinned by punchy hip hop beats. Latest release 'Operate' is probably their 'piéce de resistance' but a clutch of their other tracks, including a sprightly cover of Beck's 'Gamma Ray' are similarly impressive.

What Dreams May Come

I stumbled across the work of New York-based artist Robin Williams, courtesy of Be My Own Stylist. I find myself strangely drawn in by the bizarre awkwardness of his paintings, which mostly feature young children posing with inflatable objects or at play.
