Street photographer. Fashion photographer. Painter. Graphic designer. Abstract artist. Writer. Filmmaker. Book maker. Few have transformed as many fields of art and culture as William Klein. From his wildly inventive photographic studies of New York, Rome, Moscow, and Tokyo to bold and witty fashion photographs; from cameraless abstract photography to iconic celebrity portraits; from documentary films about Muhammad Ali, Little Richard, and the Pan-African Festival of Algiers to fiction films about the beauty industry, imperialism, and consumer culture, Klein has made every form and genre his own. Through it all runs his distinct graphic energy and deep affection for humanity’s struggles through the chaos of modern life.

Archie Fairhurst’s music as Romare has been described as “patchwork”, “collage”, and “kaleidoscopic” ever since he started releasing back in 2012. Ten years later, he dives even deeper into his collagist aesthetic than he has before, taking the road less travelled and entering a land of sonic adventure where anything is possible on his fourth album Fantasy.
Fantasy acts somewhat like a point of culmination for Romare as he forges his own path, inaugurating his very own label You See Records. He has taken in a vast array of sounds over his musical career – from footwork meditations and churning house rhythms, to swirling jazz and funk mixtures. Fantasy finds room for all of these influences to mingle, brought together by soulful samples abstractly sculpted across each track. Gargantuan club rhythms are interwoven with fleeting snippets of mediaeval incantations, and papery beats are cut with craft knives, glued together by samples sourced from 70s fantasy films and Fairhurst’s own vocals.
TweetNewly remastered from the original tapes, Duet Emmo’s “Or So It Seems” is released via Mute. Duet Emmo is the legendary collaboration between Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis (both of Wire and Dome) and Daniel Miller (The Normal and founder/owner of Mute). The album was originally released in 1983, and was the act’s only release. The result was the perfect amalgamation of Miller’s hard-line electronics and Gilbert and Lewis’ abstract and sparse textures, exhibiting why the anagrammatic combination of Dome and Mute was a fitting name for this project.
TweetAfter witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, Dr. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon) starts experiencing frightening occurrences that she can’t explain. As an overwhelming terror begins taking over her life, Rose must confront her troubling past in order to survive and escape her horrifying new reality.

TweetAlice (Pugh) and Jack (Styles) are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. The 1950’s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Pine)—equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach—anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit desert utopia.
While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives—including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley (Chan)—get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is discretion and unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause.
