Neozoon releases our furry friends

September 3rd, 2010 | By

Neozoon breaks that presumption that all street artists are men. The female collective has become popular by decorating grimy streets corners with second-hand fur coats.

Based in Paris and Berlin the group tackles the issue of how humans relate to animals, their projects take discarded coats and cut them into animal shapes. The animal silhouettes are city specific; for example, Berlin has its iconic bears wondering the city streets.


Continuing the collective’s exploration of public attitudes toward captive animals, the fur coats have also been stuffed and turned into an art installation. Moving with mechanical joints these new gorilla-like animals create an effect eerily similar to that of a living, breathing animal.

Zoos in the German cities of Münster and Magdeberg have populated a few of their cages with the fur-coaties, complete with signs and descriptions, confusing many onlookers.


We interested in what PETA would think about this project, is it exploitative or making a valid point?

Below we have a humorous video of the furry apes in action:

Bach lives on through Sutekh

September 3rd, 2010 | By

It wasn’t too long ago that Maxence Cyrin released an LP full of classically inspired covers, or that Something A La Mode introduced us to their world of electronic/classical music.
Well, now we have a new edition to the classically inspired electronic realm, by way of French minimalist auteur Sutekh. He has compiled an LP titled On Bach, inspired by the German composer Johannes Sebastian Bach.

The album took shape out of an event that Sutekh played last year in Paris called "Bach To The Moon". There he found his deep love for the 19th Century composer and not only that but a new way to update the baroque sound with an electronic styled twist.

We know Sutekh aka Seth Joshua Horvitz from his days with M-nus, a recent 12" for Soul Jazz and Mille Plateux. But this will be Sutekh’s first album in eight years, his last effort was in 2002, Incest Live.

Sutekh will release his On Bach LP on September 20th on Creaked Records.

Have a listen to some of the On Bach below:
