Click through the gallery to see a curated collection of things that we have been feeling, watching, listening, reading or doing.

dmocba

A painter from Japan, CBA creates abstract art with carefully curated colour combinations that catch your eye. His style is reminiscent of graffiti, with odd and brash brushstrokes that give the pieces have a strong energy. He also posts YouTube videos talking about his own concepts, and interesting stuff about art in general.

Still Processing

Still Processing is a podcast from the New York Times hosted by the two culture writers Wesley Morris and Jenna Wortham. Their discussions revolve around the goings on in pop culture, and current affairs, from Marie Kondo to the latest in sustainability; they use these topics to go deep into issues of race, identity, gender and politics. It makes for enjoyable and educational listening, that sees intellectual discussion and comedic relief collide.

BRRCH Floral

Spring is a far away dream for us here in Melbourne, but looking at the floral arrangements of Brittany Asch of @BRRCH makes for a beautiful Spring mood board.

WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?

Fan favourite Billie Eilish broke records this month with her debut album as the youngest ever female artist to top the UK album charts. Written and produced by herself and her brother, Finneas, it has its dark and menacing moments, something rare of a pop album. Using a mixture of soft and distorted vocals, it’s songs like wish you were gay and when the party’s over that highlight not just the talent of the two but also their attempts to push boundaries of traditional pop music. The future is looking bright for this young star and we’re already excited for more.
