Today I woke up with Londinium. I don’t know whether I dreamt about it or heard it through the thin walls that separate my bedroom from that of my neighbor’s (see what i did here? I made a funny!) but it stuck in my mind so bad that I had to find that old cd, undust it (it was in a box) and listen to it immediately.
In an era where the newborn and soon-to-die ‘trip-hop’ was the hype and many early 90′s bands tried to adopt the new Massive Attack signature sound, Archive managed to produce one album that did make a difference and still stands out . Surely their best work, their sound changed so much after that that they should have changed their name.
Mucca design’s work for Brooklyn Fare is simple: Four colours, one typeface. I’m a sucker for minimal and it would simply work like that but the witty tone on the packaging (not to mention the irony) adds a little something to the whole idea: Wipe that smile on your face on the napkins and It’s a small not a tall on the coffee cup sleeves (Starbucks what?)!
A typical first post, a typical Saturday morning drinking coffee, listening to Bibio, which I dont typically listen but hell, with songs like All the flowers or The palm of your wave it’s impossible not to.
