I’ve been a fan of Alec T.’s for a while. I especially enjoy his Fauxguerreotypes. Yesterday he announced a couple of new prints based on his work from Dead in Desemboque. Needless to say, I am partial to the beard-themed print: At just $10, and with only 10 for sale of the run of 25, [...]

I was pretty excited to get this one when it came out. I first heard the band via videos on Subterranean from their last album, “Love And Distance“. I was disappointed when the new album, “Keep Your Eyes Ahead“, didn’t sound as good to me. I read up on what the story was and it [...]
