Röyksopp Senior

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on May 27th, 2010

Röyksopp is, according to their own website, releasing their next album in August. “Senior” was supposed to be out already, in April to be exact, but because of a bit of fuzz with the record companies, it has been postponed.

Two Faced

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on May 23rd, 2010

I’ve been seeing lenticular prints all-over lately. On postcards, free-bees, on billboards and in window installations. Just during a short shopping spree at the west end of Oxford Street the other day, I managed to come across two stores who used lenticular prints as part of their décor. Maybe there is a future for lenticular prints after all?

Zeroperzero, Stations

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on May 6th, 2010

Zeroperzero is a design duo from Seoul. Kim Ji-Hwan and Jin Sol are graphic designers and focus a lot on information design. Their probably most known work is the Railway System Maps. The idea behind the redesigned maps was to make them reflect the character of the city better.

Pattern & Shape

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 29th, 2010

The Strange Attractor’s new collaborative project, Pattern & Shape is quite cool. The brief, given to Gavin Potenza, Driv Loo, Pete Barnett, Andrio Abero, Travis Stearns, Steve Rura and Matthieu Bessudo, was to “design a t-shirt using a geometric shape and incorporating pattern”. mmmm I want I want I want.

The state of British Pop

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 22nd, 2010

Ellie Goulding, Delphic, Florence + The Machine and La Roux. Apparently they’re all rising stars and some of the best in Pop and Indie at the moment. At least according to the Brits themselves.

Over and Out

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 16th, 2010

Two of my favourite blogs have recently cut the cord. Kjefta!, an Oslo based resource for design, art and other things worth mentioning, shut down on their third birthday two weeks ago. And just before the weekend, everyone’s favourite, Grafikcache, closed his curtains.

TypoFlat

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 8th, 2010

TypoFlat is a great resource for very cool free stuff. The site focuses mostly on type (hence the name), but also do a bit of stock vectors.

La Blogotheque

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 4th, 2010

Everbody has those slow days now and again where you find yourself sitting in front of the computer with nothing to do. Flipping through the same cycle of websites over and over again, hoping to come across something new, exciting and hopefully life-changing.

Teenage Engineering

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 2nd, 2010

Teenage Engineering makes really (really) nice looking things from their Stockholm studio. The first thing that caught my eye was the OP-1 synth. It looks amazing, with a fun, minimalistic design, but it actually seems like a very resourceful little music box as well.

Patricia Thompson

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 1st, 2010

Another good photographer i wanted to post here after Kim Høltermand the other week (almost starting to look like a photography series this) is Patricia Thompson. She caught my eye with the picture above. The composition and colours in that photo really struck a cord in me.

Twins Twins

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on February 24th, 2010

Twins Twins is (apparently) my favourite band at the moment. They are from Copenhagen, Denmark. They make indie-pop. And they are cool.

Kim Høltermand

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on February 18th, 2010

Kim Høltermand is a danish photographer. He has a very good eye for shapes and forms in architecture. He finds beautiful patterns and shapes in both “normal” and “abnormal” constructions.

Wallpaper* City Guide.

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on February 11th, 2010

An iPhone owning traveller’s must have: Wallpaper City Guides. Wallpaper has digitalized and applified their pocked-size guidebooks and they can really be handy.

New MGMT

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on February 9th, 2010

MGMT has finally announced the date of the release of their second full-length. They had massive success with their first, but I’m a bit hesitant in my excitement about the second.

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on January 31st, 2010

Videos that caught my attention this time: four good and one awful, including Universal everything, Bansajo and LCD soundsystem.
