Winds of change in Grizzly Bear with 'Yet Again'

The feelings that left us in his time listening to the song 'Sleeping Ute' were downright good. Grizzly Bear seemed to have found a new level of freshness in their sound that promised many and very varied emotions for the launch of an album - "Shields" - which will be released worldwide between 17 and 18 September. Now back to surprise us again with 'Yet Again', another new song that can be heard at the end of that entry.

That potential that dreamlike pounding on "Veckatimest" has definitely been transformed with the premiere of 'Yet Again'. 2 tracks, 2 new versions to understand the DNA of Grizzly Bear. The best thing about this change? We love the direction it is taking this band. Far from settling into his old records have opted for something (relatively) more direct and aggressive. I can not deny: I love this cocktail sounds like sound substance. What about you?

"Shields" can be ordered from right now in digital format via "> iTunes Store Spanish, on CD and vinyl.

Occupy the museum? A discussion evening

On Wed 23 July it's been so far. In the Sweat Room (a project of the members of the group Magic cultural object), we were able to welcome a large audience. The Experiment: How can you bring together an institutional space and Occupy? could begin.
The presentation by Simon Teune, protest scientists from Berlin, was shown a historical context. In the center of which was to consider the adoption of occupation as a protest. In the labor movements in which the birth of an "aesthetics of the masses" can be spoken, began the production of images from mass production to play a role. Images, the play then and even today in the media communication an essential role contribute significantly to the success of Occupy & co. About the real images and their almost iconic significance is attached to an image-scientific tradition: images provide additional Konnotationsebene and draw some kind of image generation. The photos of the large tent cities Occupy at Zuccotti Park in New York or Madrid Indignados images are increasingly becoming a generation. Perhaps the generation of crisis? Which is also characterized by a collective decision-making in the public domain and thus with questions and fears emerges. If such phenomena are Occupy different actors that interact through their protest in public space in appearance.If one attempts such movements from public space into a (cultural) institutions to bring you room is made of challenges for staging a museum space occupying changes the message of protest. The purpose of the event series "BUSY - discourses on art, politics and aesthetics," therefore chose a different path. Protest has done for us too much with impaired communication. At this point we wanted to start and talk about the strategies of Occupy, the role of culture in public spaces such as protest and restructured as a space for dialogue should be. Issue policies issued in a museum setting out the message of the absurd. Can talk together but about the aesthetics of Occupy and deliver the strategies the art for the protest on a meta-level result can be very fruitful, and bring the whole discussion to a more abstract and less emotional level. The "sweat room" as an artistic position offered at least one of both aesthetic and functional framework and to discuss on the basis of it wonderful.

Olympics in the past and present an image

Our blog project "Olympia 7212 - a search for clues" draws to a close. Since Monday we are, 15 students of the German School of Journalism, in search of remnants of '72 Olympics in Munich.

Martin went on to experiment on himself yesterday against Olympic gold medalist Frank Shorter. He rode his bicycle to the old Olympic distance of the marathon runners. Across the Munich city center traffic. Dog tired and quite upset, he came back to the office. Why do you see here.

Verena, the old Olympic muffle is to continue refining the way to tour the Olympic Park. Today will be abseiling from the roof of the stadium. You will fall forty meters in depth, along with a course on her head-mounted GoPro camera.

Laura, Julia, Max and Julius investigate the reasons behind the terrorist attacks of 1972. Yesterday they were in the Metropolitan Police Office, where today the Tatwaffen the assassination of 5 September will be kept.

The blazing synth pop of The Royal Concept

Swedes. Stockholm. And take a few months making war with a synthesized pop reminiscent of the greats of the genre. They are sassy, talented and exude a sound that enters the stage of Fable for summer we are experiencing. His latest book is titled "World On Fire 'and we have enjoyed through direct people 4 Play has recorded for his website. This piece, which presumably appear on the next album of The Royal Scandinavian Concept, serves as the perfect dessert for the eponymous EP released a few months ago either. And it combines the same composition of the major elements of MGMT hymns, St. Lucia and M83.


And is that "The Royal Concept EP" is a small job that former members of Robyn, Veronica Maggio, Tove MRTN Styrke and show us that addictive pop frenzy that makes them so highly irresistible. In fact a matter of only a month since The Royal Concept premiered the video for 'Gimme Twice', a cutting mood "Neon Trees" (but the debut album, not for now) that results as vibran

The entire EP via Spotify you can listen to it right here at the end of that entry. If you go the more danceable pop and sweetened you can not miss the opportunity to discover about The Royal Concept that perhaps are not very innovative, but fun, fun a long time.
