INSPIRATION MUS/S/SIC

Thought I'd share with you guys what music I've been listening to non-stop this past week or two. Lots of SSSes in my playlist! As I've mentioned in many interviews, music has a massive impact in the zone I get into for drawing.

S/S/S - BEAK & CLAW (EP)
The debut EP for Sisyphus, a collaborative group with Sufjan Stevens, Serengeti & Son Lux. This is an old one, but you can't miss it! As per usual Sufjan always always knows whats up. What could be better than Sufjan & hip-hop right? I really admire that quality of Sufjan, that he just transforms to whatever stuff is rad and that he's into. Like when he was inspired by Royal Robertson, outsider art and aliens and made The Age of Adz. You have to be happy that he didn't remain folk forever. My favourite song is Beyond Any Doubt.

SISYPHUS - SISYPHUS
Okay so this is the follow up album to the Beak and Claw EP and it's awesome. I really wish there was more music like this that was a mash up between hip hop and different styles. Favourites from this album are Rhythm of Devotion, Flying Ace, I Won't Be Afraid and Alcohol is pretty sweet too. Really it's all good.

SYLVAN ESSO - SYLVAN ESSO
My boyfriend introduced me to this duo, and we luckily got to see them as the opening act for Tune-Yards at Berghain last week. I think they are amazing and it just goes to show what you can do with strong vocals and a laptop. My favourite is Hey Mami. Oh - and Amelia has killer dance moves so that's pretty bonus.
