NEW LOOK FOR AN OLD WAY posted by J

I found these photos you see in this post that really grabbed a hold of my attention. First the owl (one of my favorite animals), then the human skull which i to am found of skulls. But these skulls were covered in black fur. I was intrigued!

Moments later i was at the website for a artist named Jason Clay Lewis (www.jasonclaylewis.com). I don't really want to get into back ground and all that jazz, just the art.

I discovered that the 3 sculptures i liked also had 2 more and where part of an ongoing series of sculptures, drawings, installations and photos called The Renewal Serious.

The Renewal Serious has been 4 exhibits so far. The first was The Black Death (which the sculptures i liked were from), second was God of War, then Devour, and lastly Drop Dead Gorgeous. I was taken back by the work and reference in all this work. Dark, human, grotesque, and true, Jason Clay Lewis has a fresh, dark, humorous point of view worth taking look at.

If you know me, you know that I'm always on the look out for new and interesting music. Lately I've grown really fond of noise, or drone music. Letters Letters is a new band from Montreal. There on Type Records, a branch of Morr Music Records (one of my favorite labels, home to the likes of Mum, Seabear, Lali Puna, and The Notwist). This trio from Canada has taken noise and experimentation to a poppy sort of sound. Great beats and synth work with a dirty, gritty edge to it. There self titled album is quite good, especially as a debut album.

And that's that. Be there friend on myspace (www.myspace.com/lettersletters), they don't have many and that's a damn shame. You can purchase the album at Type Records website, www.typerecords.com, or at emusic.com.
