Röyksopp Senior

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Thu, 27 May 2010 13:11:37 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Sun, 23 May 2010 00:28:07 +0000

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 decor. Maybe there is a future for lenticular prints after all?

Zeroperzero, Stations

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Wed, 05 May 2010 23:07:58 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:20:27 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 09:00:39 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:45:15 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:13:18 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:00:41 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:00:34 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 08:00:59 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:44:28 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:58:51 +0000

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.

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 20:23:52 +0000

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

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:46:12 +0000

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.

Videos that caught my attention pt. 4

Aleksander Vindenes Dahl — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 14:30:33 +0000

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