DOUBLE WHAMMY. right here. right now. So, I've recently been introduced to a band called Architecture in Helsinki by my friend Melanie who came to me with the following dialogue:
M: "Jenn, I got us concert tickets"
J: "huh? yeah? for who..?!"
M: "Architecture in Helsinki"
J: "Architecture in Hell Sinking? what? wait, Huh?"
M: "HelsINKI look it up, take the day off, you're going to love it"
J: "uh, ok.. thanks, i think"
So yeah, first of all, this.
(I really want to cut the girl's bangs off.. you'll see what i mean. but yes, otherwise amazing.)
hah YEAH. want more? (Melanie you were right.)
And there is more where this deliciously different approach to, well.. everything came from. Try YouTube->Architecture in Helsinki videos for more. So. Whilst quickly becoming obsessed with what this band has to offer my senses, i decided to check out their site.
and SHABAAM.
hello wonderfully intricate and nausiatingly fantastic album art.
I fell in love.
Will Sweeny [alakazamlabel.com] is my new hero.
He is an illustrator that blends graphic design, toy design and streetwear. Artists like Sweeny really set a standard for all of us coming out of college to really follow or atleast admire... maybe adore. Anyway. For whatever reason, many of my peers feel like since they are graphic design majors they are stuck within a narrow box that doesnt exceed designing corporate annual reports. Sometimes I feel like a select few of the faculty are in that rut of lameness as well. Well hey, guess what guys. That's bullshit.
