An Interview With Danny Denial
Wednesday, December 27, 2017 11:55 — 0 Comments
Danny Denial might be the most intriguing artist you’ve never heard of. Or, if you read Afro Punk, you have heard of him. Denial, who recently moved to Seattle, is on the verge of creating a beautiful and distinct blend of music and film, showcasing sorrow, confusion, hopeful creativity and a strength of force that many other Seattle artists don’t exhibit – and are likely afraid to. As 2017 comes to a close, we thought it would be worthwhile to ask Denial, one of the artists to look out for in 2018, a few questions about his history, motivations, projects […]
Three Poems – Kristene Kaye Brown

[Somatic Night] All our landlocked blues belong to the ocean, our bodies and our storms. There are 600 miles of blood vessels within us all, an island of seaweed and vein in each leg and arm. It’s true. The sea hides whats most beautiful below. Our reflection is no match for that multi-dimensional void. A wave gives birth to many more waves, an endless cycle of breath lipping over ribs of coral. This is how the body empties itself. Each ripple a small beat pulled by the heartstrings of the moon. There is love to be found here. Just watch […]
Six Paintings – Robert R. Thurman
Tuesday, November 7, 2017 19:13 — 0 Comments
Below are six images sent to us from Robert R. Thurman. The paintings meander between odd, eerie and intentionally rudimentary – but those are also the pillars of their charm. The images – some political, some depraved – all elicit an internal feeling of discomfort, which is the sign of good work. Enjoy!

INSIDE LIGHT I specify a gender then I’m on a treadmill then I’m asked to solve a language puzzle then I swing my right arm less dramatically as this will free up left-lobe brain space. My horizon rises and my face is not a blade. I separate permission from forgiveness, scatter, gather, scatter, gather. When we’re correlated, equidistant, neither of us is to blame. ONE SIZE FITS ALL Who would have supposed there would be in this Xanadu an unexploited algorithm or an unused rule of thumb? When your domain is multiply connected, bounded by some ovals that you’re […]
Three Songs To The Head vol. 48

Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring Stereo Embers, Brakebill and Araless. Enjoy! Robb Benson, lead singer for Seattle’s Stereo Embers, has one of the most distinct voices in the city. It’s big, bold and bright and the vocalist is able to shape it to whatever kind of song he’s undertaking. With his latest project, Benson is joined by Rock Tim DiJulio on lead guitar, Ben Brunn on bass and Cassady Laton on […]
Three Songs To The Head vol. 47

Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring Sounds Like Disco, Perfect Families and Fian. Enjoy! “Down” by the LA-band, Sounds Like Disco, is an energetic fluffy firefly of a track meant for the convertible speeding on a sun-lit open road. It’s a slushy when everything else is beating down on you. It’s a pop hit simply put. Seattle dream-pop band, Perfect Families, have a new record out August 16th and their first […]
The answer isn't poetry, but rather language
