The IRL Issue

In our early days of internet addiction, IRL was a shorthand that showed up in chat-room conversations when your house was on fire and you had to log out. But mostly, it reminded other users that your online persona didn’t necessarily coincide with your real identity.

Nowadays, ‘me IRL’ will be a picture of a pony with a pizza on its back because ‘literally’ now means ‘figuratively’, and it turns out the internet is better equipped to reveal your true self than, say, society. So as we’re quickly losing grip on reality (# sorelatable) we thought we’d better write this down in case we ever need to retrace our steps.

October Recommendations

PRINS HENDRIKKADE 142 AMSTERDAM • DEAPPEL.NL

MET DANK AAN DOMMERING FONDS, MONDRIAAN FONDS EN FONDS 21.

February Recommendations Each month our staff provides you with a selection of the finer things in life. Enjoy!

Music: Bell Towers

Music: Joseph Marinetti

By combining mellowed-out house rhythms, elevator muzak vibes and sweltering arpeggios, London-via-Melbourne’s Bell-Towers defies the rules of the dance floor, laying to rest wornout club structures. Following the same path as Australian producers like Roland Tings and Tornado Wallace, the exotic, slightly avant-garde take on Chicago house has been good for numerous 12 inches, all creating their own little nonconforming zones.

With a healthy obsession for vintage Nickelson jackets, greasy hamburgers and mind-shattering gabber, Joseph Marinetti is the breathing reincarnation of the raves he used to attend as a Scottish youngster. On his recently released PDA EP, the Edinburgh resident delivers high-octane club music, dismantling dance genres of the ‘00s, while showing strange similarities to PC Music’s hyper-modernity. With this sound and curious titles such as ‘3D Hentai Stud’, it’s safe to say that he’s off to a great start.

February Recommendations Music: No Parents

Music: The Gumbo Ya-Ya’s / The Dyna Jets

If you get your joy from filthy rotten fuzz punk, man boobs and occasional manginas, then boy do we have a treat for you… Here’s No Parents, one of the newest darlings of LA’s Burger Records.

They hate grandmas, especially their own. And violins. They might just incinerate your ear bones, but you’ll surely love every second… yesnoparents.bandcamp.com

Art: PostNorma

Our first encounter with Cape Town garage rock came in the form of threepiece The Future Primitives, whose mega catchy debut ‘This Here’s Future Primitives’ was pretty much all we listened to in the spring of 2012. Unfortunately, The Primitives are no more, but thankfully the boys have been keeping busy since, forming one side project after another. One of them went off to play some swampy rockabilly with The Gumbo Ya-Ya’s, while the other two formed The Dyna Jets, set to release their debut ‘She’s Magnetic’ on Groovie Records by the end of this month. If you like the sound of shaky guitars, the smell of sweat and the taste of whiskey, we suggest you get into this.

PostNorma is a ‘squat squat’ slash art space in Amsterdam North inhabited by Rietveld students. It embodies a living and exhibiting space wherein art, design and life have become a single unhindered component. The lifestyle is the practice. It’s the mundane and the modern reapplied in medieval situationism.

No electricity, no water; only people.

Luxurious people birthing shiny objects.

Food: 3D snacking Even food goes digital: we’re already printing chocolates and intricate patisserie, but Dutch food and concept designer Chloe Rutzerveld has taken things one step further. Her Edible Growth project combines aspects of nature, science, technology and design by 3D printing multiple layers of seeds, spores and yeast in a ball-shaped form.

Let it grow and ferment for a couple of days and your sci-fi snack is ready to eat. The food of the future?

Photos are the best memory keepers, especially the exquisitely printed ones.

Polaroid moments stuck to your notice board or an enlarged sunset gracing the wall – they’re here to stay. Experimental boutique photo lab Memorylab offers you something similar by turning your digital besties into premium prints on cotton-based rag paper, presented in a fabric-bound lush black archival box. A precious gift, but an even better keeper.

Memorylab is Hong Kong-based, but hey – they ship internationally.

Food: Muhamarra We were recently exposed to a culinary revelation that’s been sitting under our apparently insensitive noses for years: muhamarra, an unbelievably addictive Middle Eastern dip based on roasted red paprikas, walnuts and tangy pomegranate syrup. It’s like crack for your crack-

February Recommendations Music: RAMZI Recommended by Richard McFarlane (1080p) Every month we ask someone who inspires us to share something they are passionate about. This month we turn to Richard McFarlane, founder of the outrageously productive and perfectly off-kilter Vancouver-based tape label, 1080p.

Vancouver-based producer Phoebé Guillemot’s RAMZI project is darkly tropical and claustrophobic in a wonderously joyous way. If you have tabs open, it might suggest some sort of digital vine-cutting expedition or overt interest in the more informationfatigued screen life. Guillemot’s general approach to music and creating seems more physical community/IRL-based, and her central interest is definitely heavily fantastical in a more timeless, purely psychedelic way than any net-based ideals. Building disorientating, bouncy hybrid electronic tracks out of heavily filtered samples, inverted dancehall rhythms, shredded jungle and super-weird, melodic repetitions, RAMZI is able to lock into very listenable grooves and magical-realist tones while retaining this crazed, cluttered vibe throughout. There’s a constant feeling that the dualities in her tracks could push them too far into the ever-present canopy of polyrhythms, but Guillemot somehow keeps it just at the right level of mutant. Her set-up is split evenly between hardware and computer, and the realms she builds on self-released cassette BÉBiTES utilise the frenetic/maximalist potential of both of the two in a crazily imagistic investigation of familiar online and offline worlds. Her BÉBiTES cassette is sold out right now, but getting a repress by Summer Cool distro soon. ramzi1.bandcamp.com

the Williamsburg Bridge. Fast-forward to winter 2015, Lydia greets us with the same sunny warmth. This time she’s preparing for her European tour, eluding FOMO and contemplating what lies ahead 17

Lydia Ainsworth. Continued Apparently, in the future we’ll be living in pods in Venus’s deadly sulphuric gas atmosphere.

It’s sad that we would have to move to another planet, we should be taking care of our own.

They say space travel is in the not-too-distant future, but it’s still hard to fathom. Can you imagine a world where you’ll never have the need to meet people IRL? I don’t really have many friends that I’ve never met in person. It’s been interesting for me to delve into Twitter and Facebook with the release of my album. I never used those for my music before and so many interesting artists and fans have reached out to me. I’m working with an animation artist who I emailed a long time ago. I didn’t hear from her for a while until she heard my song on the Arbutus website, realised it was me and immediately wrote back. We’re working on a music video for ‘White Shadows’. I met her for the first time in person the other night in Toronto. She brought beautiful hand-drawn sketches of every single frame.

I can’t imagine just collaborating online. For instance, this autumn I picked up a drummer, some string players and a sound guy in New York. We became very tight very quickly. So tight, that some of them will be coming with me on tour. Working out the live elements on the go has been great. In Montreal I had an artist make a set design for me which included a perch for his corn snake called Baguette. It was the most graceful thing.

What do you want people to experience when they hear your music?

My aim is to always create a feeling that will allow the listener to feel like they’re transcending the world around them. I love music that reminds you that humanity hasn’t forgotten you, music that creates a spark of hope within you. That is always at the centre of my work.

18

Lydia Ainsworth. Continued ‘I love music that reminds you that humanity hasn’t forgotten you, music that creates a spark of hope within you’ But what if we forget humankind? Like when we don’t think twice about applying filters on photos of ourselves? In the future do we risk forgetting what we’re really like?

Filters are a way of giving the average iPhone owner a little creativity. They are expressing a personal truth in those filters, a kind of fantasy that they felt internally at that given time and place. I wonder how long the selfie craze is going to last. I mean, it’s not something that is wholly new to us, it’s been happening long before the iPhone.

I got a book of self-portraits recently and it’s so interesting to see how artists can express internal fantasies or realities through images of themselves. I think it comes from a deep need to be remembered.

Do you ever suffer from FOMO? I actually just heard about FOMO – the irony! My sister told me about it, she’s a very social person, I’m more of a hermit. Maybe I experienced FOMO once, when I realised I didn’t know what FOMO was when everyone else seemed to.

24

Gazelle Twin. Continued It’s interesting how this record cuts open contemporary culture in a ruthlessly honest and personal way, and at the same time is really good to dance to.

Thank you! I think you can judge music purely on its effect on how much you feel you want to dance to it – at least, I reckon that’s a good measure of it. I just love physical music and wanted this record to trigger a simple physical reaction, which is to really feel that low bass and repetitive beats. I enjoy music like that, so it naturally happened that way.

It’s almost as if that physical part you’re talking about is the euphoric part, while the lyrics are quite disturbing.

The song ‘Exorcise’ is the least negative one on the record. It’s about celebrating the body – a positive thing [Laughs].

That song is about the body on fire, right?

Absolutely. It’s about sex – so all the good things, from orgasms to fever dreams, and even in that there’s some good stuff, like when you’re on drugs and not necessarily suffering, that too can be quite fun.

Listening to the record makes you feel like you’re tangled up in your own guts. Is that a good thing too?

Well, that’s what it was for me. It was literally from my belly at one point. I wanted to make it sound like I was recording inside my body, inside the guts where all these certain emotions like nerves, longing and anxiety are settled. For me, how these emotions affected me, my mood, that was important to me.

The lyrics are deeply personal. You make yourself quite vulnerable – in spite of the uniform and the mask you wear onstage. Can you tell us a bit about the process from not talking about stuff to not resisting it any more?

For most of my life I was concealing it, which is probably what drove this irrepressible desire to just scream out everything that

25

Gazelle Twin. Continued ‘I wanted to make it sound like I was recording inside my body, inside the guts where all these certain emotions like nerves, longing and anxiety are settled’ I’ve come to feel growing up. The songs come from a long period of reflecting on this and understanding how everything shaped you. At some point you can’t be anything but honest. The traumatic aspects of everything in this record, I already went through. That person isn’t me now, but me back then, even though it’s fictionalised and even though memory is in part also fictionalised. I sort of imagined that process if I met myself as a child. Once the attachment is there, you’re not that person any more. I wanted to explore what was still lingering. I do feel like I was able to be quite brave and frank about it, but I don’t like to talk too much about it. It can become boring or New Age-y, but there certainly is a therapeutic aspect there, and the interesting thing is, even though it’s so particular to me, it relates to others.

The name Gazelle Twin conjures up a beautiful image. How did that come about?

Its origin is not so exciting, really. It’s an anagram of my birthname with some letters added to it. There were, like, 3,000 combinations and I instantly thought Gazelle Twin conjured a strong image – plus it had a link to the Bible, which I used to love to read as a teenager. The romance of it had a strong appeal to me. In the Old Testament there’s one passage about sex, it’s really kind of wordy, about a woman’s breasts compared with two fawns of a gazelle, so I saw that image again and instantly loved how it makes the project inherently

feminine, but at the same time slightly detached and symbolic. Now I don’t really think about the name any more, except when someone says I copied Aphex Twin!

You could easily blame your twin.

It’s a very fortunate name in every way! And having this biblical reference, to me, is a secure way to experience life. That’s why people are drawn to religion, I think, and I am too: it’s a comGazelle Twin plays The Rest is Noise on 04 February at Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ in Amforting thing. sterdam.

Viet Cong Phone interview by Koen van Bommel Photos shot by Isolde Woudstra in Utrecht, the Netherlands

28

The IRL Issue. Interview Viet Cong’s self-titled debut may have only just hit shelves, but our minds are already made up: this band is salvation. With two former members of Women – arguably one of the best bands of the past decade – there’s really no reason for doubt. The only question remaining is whether vocalist and bass player Matt Flegel is aware of any of this. Because while their fans are losing their shit over comment sections and message boards, he himself is wandering on a remote Canadian island, lost somewhere in his own mind When I say the words ‘real life’, what’s the first thing that jumps to mind?

Real life right now is boxes, things being put in boxes, to move from one place to another. I’m moving to the west coast of Canada, to a place called Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island.

That sounds really remote.

Well, it’s fairly remote. It’s close to Vancouver, but you have to take a ferry to get there. It’s definitely isolated.

Is that something you’ve always wanted, to live on an island?

Actually, yes. It’s something I’ve thought about for a long time.

29

Viet Cong. Continued I’ve never had a proper excuse to do it, but now my girlfriend is going to study horticulture out there. We’ll see. I’m barely going to be home this year anyway, but I’d rather have that as a place to come back to than Calgary.

Horticulture, it doesn’t get more offline than that. Where do you stand on real life versus the internet?

Is there anything that is not online, though? I think everything is on there. I mean, there’s a website where you can hunt wild animals with remote guns. There’s a camera attached to a gun, and you can hunt a deer. On the internet. That exists.

How old are you?

I’m 32.

So you spent your childhood without the internet. Do you have any vivid memories of the pre-internet age?

Yeah, I didn’t know what the internet was until I was in high school, I guess. I remember… being outside. All the time. Until I was a teenager, I spent all my time outside. Rain or shine, it didn’t matter what the weather was, we were outside. Playing street hockey, running around. I feel like kids don’t really do that any more. It seems like parents won’t even let their kids go outside any more. I don’t know, I don’t have any kids, but I think parents are a little overprotective these days.

Isn’t that weird, though? I’d say the internet is way scarier than being outside. I mean, you think your kids are safely indoors, but they might be on this hunting website.

Yeah, you can have a five-year-old killing animals online.

How would you describe yourself on the internet? What kind of online person are you?

I use email, and that’s about it. I don’t have Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or any of those things.

30

The IRL Issue. Interview

When was the last time you googled yourself?

I looked up our band name on YouTube, because we had a music video come out that I didn’t actually watch. So I wanted to look at the music video and, you know, make sure it wasn’t a complete piece of shit and waste of time and money.

Do you think the internet enhances real life?

I don’t know… I see people who spend most of their time looking at the palm of their hand. I see people crossing the street, looking at their phone and literally walking into traffic. People aren’t very aware. They’re the most connected that they have ever been, but they’re really not very connected at all. I mean, I’m not against

31

Viet Cong. Continued ‘I don’t think it’s healthy to constantly let everyone know where you are at all times.

I think it’s good to be detached sometimes’ technology or anything, but I feel there’s a line we need to draw at some point.

Do you ever feel like you’re lost in your own mind?

I’d say 95 per cent of my waking time I’m generally lost in there.

And the remaining 5 per cent?

That’s the time I spend on the internet.

Do you trust your mind?

I didn’t used to, but now, as a 32-year-old grown man, I do. Plus I’ve seen the signs of insanity in other people at this point. I feel like if it was about to happen to me, I’d see it coming.

Do you ever feel detached from real life?

Yeah, sometimes.

When?

Well, that’s why I’m so excited to move out west, somewhere isolated. Because then it’s easier to get detached. I feel like more people should do that. I don’t think it’s healthy to constantly let everyone know where you are at all times. I think it’s good to be detached sometimes. Get out there and wander. On your own. It’s healthy.

As the leader of club renegades Diagonal, Oscar Powell has been goading UK dance floors with his confrontational sets and brutish electronic aberrations since 2011.

But for a man who once played the Bassline Boys’ Hitler-sampling ‘Warbeat’ to a packed Berghain, Powell the person is anything but abrasive. To set the record straight, we asked Sam A Harris to cast a new light, IRL 33

Featured Artist

Lynne Brouwer When we asked Lynne Brouwer (1992) to be our featured artist she was actually right in the middle of graduating at the Royal Academy of Art. So we figured a nice way of congratulating her was by showcasing her brilliantly odd work. Brouwer has a taste for abstract photography, which shows in her love for close-ups and detail, as well as her choice of subjects. Take, for example, ‘Designs for Discomfort’, a series on confinement architecture in which she explores the startling use of pastels in spaces like prison bathrooms. We talked to her about the 50 possible symptoms of mental illness and the dark corners of the human psyche lynnebrouwer.com 40

Featured Artist: Lynne Brouwer Interview by Floor Kortman

Tell us about ‘A Stranger’s Strangeness’, what made you document mental illness?

I’ve always been fascinated with psychology, especially the sharper edges of our psychological wellbeing. When I came across an excerpt of a Yale report called ‘Fifty signs of mental illness’ by James Whitney Hicks, it provided me with a mental-health checklist. I carried a copy with me and started documenting traces that felt like visual interpretations of these symptoms.

They include sloppiness, paranoia, religious preoccupation and fear.

For your graduation, you researched spaces that have a negative connotation or function. What kind of spaces are these?

I ended up in a prison sort of by accident. I knew prisons in the Netherlands don’t look the way they are depicted in movies but the broad range of pastel colours amazed me. I wanted to see if this wryly optimistic design was a phenomenon that could be seen in more places that have an inherently negative function.

Besides my curiosity towards psychological motives and deviant behaviour, I think what ultimately fascinates me is friction. That which

is considered negative, strange or dark never ceases to confuse and therefore inspire me. But I’m equally interested in the solutions, the optimism, the ‘science’ of our need to improve and control. I’m just another person trying to get a grip on madness, I guess.

You don’t photograph a lot of people. Why is this?

Photographing people confused me during my studies. I found the images said so little about who they actually were or what they were thinking. Their physical traces, seemingly unimportant, showed so much more to me of their (sub)conscious behaviour than any portrait I made could ever do. Also, I kind of suck at making portraits.

Now that you’ve graduated, what’s coming up next?

For the coming months I’d love to work with a designer and printer to create an edition of ‘Designs for discomfort’ to show at the academy-wide graduation festival in July. Then there’s tons of books still to read, apologies to be made to family, friends and plants that have been severely neglected, new languages to be learned, jobs to be found. Yeah, I think I’ll be okay!

Books: Self-Help Shelf No 9

Wolf in White Van

by John Darnielle

Every month we offer a literary helping hand with the bigger questions in life ‘Welcome to Trace Italian, a game of strategy and survival!’ Wolf in White Van’s protagonist Sean Phillips is the creator of the imaginary world of Trace Italian, a text adventure played through the mail. Wolf in White Van’s author John Darnielle is the creator of the many, many more or less imaginary worlds known as The Mountain Goats discography.

Most of those records consist of a series of loosely connected songs.

(All Hail West Texas, for example, is made up of ‘fourteen songs about seven people, two houses, a motorcycle, and a locked treatment facility for adolescent boys,’ and Full Force Galesburg, another one of my favourites, was, on a promotional poster, summarised by these two short lines: ‘We think because we're young nothing can hurt us. Something can’.)

It is not all that hard to (re)imagine Wolf in White Van as a Mountain Goats record: there’s the isolated ‘monster’ Sean, who shot himself in the face at 17, the doomed love story of Trace Italian players Lance and Carrie, Sean’s awkward relationship with his parents (which makes for some of the most heartbreaking scenes in the book), and the escapist fantasy world of Trace Italian, all of which would not seem the slightest bit out of place in Darnielle’s musical output.

Wolf in White Van is not just a book for fans of The Mountain Goats who can’t wait for the new record though. It is a beautiful, touching tale of isolation, disfigurement, escapism and love, love, love.

Well-written, concise and wholeheartedly recommended.‘You may now make your first move.’

€15 Outfit Every month we give €15 to someone to compose a complete outfit for a good night out. Yes, quite the challenge What’s the difference between being naked and feeling naked?

Feeling naked means that something isn’t there that usually is, I guess.

It’s almost like you’re in a knight’s attire: riding on beer, protected by an alien shield, standing by a flag.

Where’s your sword?

That’s quite an interpretation. I guess you could say that my sword is between my legs, huh?

Fighting for a cause?

Spend more money on beer, spend less money on clothes.

Any absolutely free advice?

Drink beer and listen to my band, Urban Grey, and visit my website: www.mooieman.com.

Toronto three-piece Absolutely Free are riding the wave of their first full-length album, an eclectic suite of free-flowing art-pop with a tinge of psychedelia. They form this month’s inspiration for Boris de Vries, a musician himself who is no stranger to taking liberties either Hey Boris. How’s it hanging?

Ha-ha.

No point in beating around the bush: why are you naked?

My starting point was Absolutely Free’s ‘UFO’, so I turned into an alien. Aliens don’t wear clothes. I am visiting Amsterdam and what does one do when visiting Amsterdam? They get loaded. So I spent €12.65 on a crate of beer.

It was also a bet. I win, so now a friend of mine will buy me another crate of beer, ha-ha.

Absolutely Free play on 16 February with Viet Cong at Rotown in Rotterdam and on 21 February at dB’s in Utrecht. Both shows are free for Subbacultcha members.

Food: Cooking With...

Weyes Blood Every month we ask an artist to share a recipe for their favourite dish Natalie's Gingerbread Hippy Men

Glimmers of laughter pierce Natalie Mering’s serene mood as she describes filming her new music video for ‘Bad Magic’ with drone cameras in Red Hook and admits she wouldn’t mind wearing a lettuce bikini in the summer. In the winter, she sticks to dressing up hippy gingerbread men in psychedelic buttercream clothes, which are here for you to bake and savour as the snow melts.

Your gingerbread man can be smoking a candy cane or listening to the Grateful Dead. Once you’ve applied his frosting clothes, add a small puddle of food colouring to a dish. Use a toothpick to make swirls in it. Choose a new colour and repeat until you've made an edible psychedelic mess. Note: the food colouring used in this amateurish recipe will stain your mouth, and most likely your intestines.

• Grind spices, then mix with flour, baking soda, salt and ground orange peel.

• Heat oven to 175°C. Butter and flour your baking tin.

• Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add molasses and beat until smooth.

• Melt the butter in a saucepan, add cream and milk.

• Gradually add dry ingredients and butter mixture to the egg mixture.

• Pour batter into man-shaped molds and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Frosting • Beat butter, add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Then add cream cheese and beat until smooth.

• Apply frosting clothes when gingerbread man is cool.

Weyes Blood plays on 25 February at OT301 in Amsterdam. The show is free for Subbacultcha members.

Viet Cong Viet Cong

Mount Eerie Sauna

Born out of the acrimonious dissolution of beloved Calgary art-rock band Women and inspired by the subsequent, sudden death of Women guitarist Chris Reimer, Viet Cong counts Women vocalist/bassist Matt Flegel and drummer Mike Wallace among its ranks. While the world first weathered their tempestuous tuneage on a tour-only cassette released in 2013, Viet Cong represents the band’s proper debut. Its cover adorned with a set of hands cutting bandages off another, the album underneath reveals the remnants of countless healed and healing wounds, manifested through jagged guitars, propulsive rhythms, celestial synths and howls, all flush with anger and joy and life. ‘Hope springs eternal,’ as Alexander Pope put it, and why not, when man is blessed with such vivid and vital art as this?

Over the course of a vast number of releases, mercurial elder statesman of Pacific Northwest indie rock Phil Elverum has created a distinctive sonic universe under the guises of The Microphones and now Mount Eerie. His new album, the proper follow-up to his 2012 albums Clear Moon and Ocean Roar, contains all the hallmarks of his signature sound: droning organs, cacophonous drums, distorted guitars, angelic female vocal harmonies, yet another song entitled ‘(something)’ and, at its core, the beating heart that is Elverum’s own soothing, almost childlike voice. Sauna isn’t so much an adventure as it is a stroll following a new route through familiar territory. Fortunately it’s gorgeous territory which seems capable of revealing something wondrous every time Elverum explores it.

Music Reviews Taggart and Rosewood The Killingest

Sleater-Kinney No Cities to Love Sub Pop

Totally Gross National Product

When this pioneering riot grrrl trio split up in 2006 after releasing seven consistently terrific albums, they offered no explanation for stopping nor promise of reuniting. Nearly a decade later, they make their triumphant return with No Cities to Love, which showcases an older-but-wiser Sleater-Kinney who remain as impassioned and adept at crafting smart, fist-pumping anthems as ever.

That this duo is named after Eddie Murphy’s sidekicks in Beverly Hills Cop, soundtracked a pornographic short film shot with a drone called Drone Boning (natch) and based this debut album on recordings of the synapses of their brains whilst under the influence of DMT should convince you that they’re unusual enough to warrant at least a casual listen. That they’re Justin Vernon’s sidekicks in Gayngs and joined here by Spoon’s Jim Eno on drums, make glacially paced electronic music simultaneously sexy and creepy enough to perfectly accompany a bit of voyeuristic nature porn and have created a warped and magical debut that perfectly reflects their DMT-addled minds should convince you that The Killingest is extraordinary enough to warrant multiple close listens.

Cotillon Cotillon

Burger Records If you google ‘cotillon’ you’ll probably be bombarded with images of colorful confetti and other festive accoutrement. Add that to the Burger Records connection and you might find yourself assuming Jordan Corso’s LA-based band of the same name must be a total blast; in reality Cotillon come off as more bittersweet than boisterous, but just ’cause their debut ain’t a party doesn’t mean it’s not worth celebrating!

Turist Ruben Östlund - 2014

This Swedish commentary on modern life tells the story of thirtysomethings Ebba and Tomas, proud parents of a young son and daughter. In an attempt to escape everyday life, they’ve fled to a ski resort in the Alps for a family vacation. The film opens with them posing in their sports gear for a portrait as the model family: happy, healthy, handsome, in love. But it only takes one moment of fear for the couple to start doubting their roles as partners and as parents. Hell, Tomas even starts doubting his masculinity. With Turist, director Ruben Östlund uses a moral dilemma to demystify the closely-knit family unit, methodically unraveling the intimacy bonds and blood ties, all for your viewing pleasure. Release: 19 February When you’ve finished this one, start watching...

• This is not the first we’ve heard of Ruben Östlund. With Involuntary (2008) he focused on group behavior, and Play (2011) showed us how bullying works. Both films will be screened at the EYE Film Institute this month.

• It seemed like a far-fetched comparison when Indiewire named Turist a Gone Girl about parenthood, but David Fincher’s blackest of comedies does have a thing or two in common with Östlund’s take on modern relationships. The two would go very well together in a depressing double bill.

Amour fou

Amour fou

Zurich

Jessica Hausner - 2014

Zurich

Berlin, the Romantic Era. Heinrich, a young poet and a romantic if ever there was one, has a single wish: to die in a suicide pact with the woman he loves. He thinks there is only one way to conquer death and that is through love. When the woman he loves rejects him, Heinrich finds a new object of desire in Henriette, who just so happens to already be married. But is she willing to die for love? With its visual detail and understated humour, Amour fou is an extremely rich film, not to mention a poignant comment on Romanticism.

Release: 29 January

Sacha Polak - 2014 Young filmmaker Sacha Polak is one of the most promising talents in Dutch cinema. Her previous effort, Hemel, was a broody account of a young woman’s difficult relationships. In Zurich, Polak explores the travails of Nina, a traumatised woman who wanders the highways of Europe. It’s up to the viewer to piece together her back story. Zurich is as enigmatic as its protagonist, and certainly as intense. Singer Wende Snijders is fantastic as Nina.

Release: 19 February

Naomi Punk + Here Come The Wolves

The Rest is Noise Presents: Gazelle Twin + Bernholz

01 February - dB’s, Utrecht 20.30 | €7 | Free for members

04 February - Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, Amsterdam 20.00 | €10 | Free for members

The Pacific Northwest has a fairly unimpeachable track record when it comes to grunge, and perhaps the greatest compliment you could pay Naomi Punk is that they’re doing a sterling job carrying the torch. Their debut, The Feeling, which was first released by Couple Skate back in 2012, channelled elements of hometown heroes Sonic Youth and Nirvana, while 2014’s follow-up Television Man furthers that distinct Seattle DIY punk aesthetic.

Beneath the trio’s rough, unstructured style – think guitars thick-as-sludge that bury vocals deep in the mix – hides a keen ear for melody and cleverness that delights as much as it surprises. Punk meets art meets three young men who know exactly what they want to do.

Mu sic

Brutal was how we felt every time we had to move Elizabeth Bernholz’s show, but our determination was unflinching, and oh, how violent our joy is now that we can (finally!) confirm it is (really!) happening. Gazelle Twin will unleash her full-on sonic assault that combines sickly synths, sinister beats and slabs of distortion at Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ. Support comes from her equally intriguing husband and co-founder of Anti-Ghost Moon Ray label, Jez Bernholz.

Two years in the making, How Things Are Made is a polished piece of experimental pop.

Somewhere Else ft.

Powell + Prostitutes (live) + Arif Malawi & Luc Mast

Viet Cong + Absolutely Free

07 February - OT301, Amsterdam 22.00 | €10 | Free for members before midnight The sonic assault continues as Somewhere Else returns to OT301 with an ode to London rebels Diagonal and their four years of claustrophobic club constructions, punishing industrial techno and obscure electronics. Leading the charge is the label’s head honcho and foremost renegade Oscar Powell, whose relentless emphasis on ‘club music’ has battered a gaping post-punk and noise fracture

16 February - Rotown, Rotterdam 20.00 | €10 | Free for members Born from the ashes of beloved art-rock band Women, Viet Cong deal in sprawling post-punk, sweet harmonies and just a dash of ’60s psychedelia. Their tour-only cassette release last year was a fizzing collection of bright, immediate tracks and rightly created a wave of interest in their debut proper, out now on Jagjaguwar. And as anyone who witnessed their packed-out, triumphant

show at last year’s Le Guess Who? Festival will already know, there’s plenty of substance to all that industry hype.

21 February - dB’s, Utrecht 21.00 | €8 | Free for members

Bold and brash, loud and frantic, Baltimore noise-rock lifers Dope Body take no prisoners. Straddling genres and styles as divergent as hardcore and math rock, their latest Drag City record is a pummelling blitzkrieg that’s beamed straight to your cerebral cortex. Passivity will not be an option; it’s time to ditch the shackles of self-control and let your primordial instincts reign free.

If humanity were ever to send more music into space à la the Voyager probe, we’d be the first to petition for a track or two by Canadians Absolutely Free. Perfectly suited to a boundless cosmic journey, there’s a wonderfully unhurried and spacious vibe to their music; songs unfurl gently around soft, motorik grooves as synths and horns swim in and out of the mix. It’s intelligent and quietly engaging – exactly the impression we’d want to give to alien civilisations.

21 February - WORM, Rotterdam 20.30 | €6 | Free for members

The Rest is Noise Presents: Lydia Ainsworth

Subbacultcha x Textuur Present: Cult of Youth

22 February - Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, Amsterdam 20.30 | €10 | Free for members An accomplished cellist, film score composer, and a composition alumnus of both McGill and New York University, Lydia Ainsworth is every music critic’s wet dream. But best of all is the way in which she weaves this wealth of experience and her love of classical music with a unique singing style to create dark, swirling pop soundscapes. Her approach to performing is equally unique – she’s incorporated dancers, an orchestra and even a snake into her stage show – meaning another special Muziekgebouw night is all but guaranteed.

23 February - Poortgebouw, Rotterdam 21.00 | €5 | Free for members In these anxious times, it’s a little perplexing that more artists haven’t turned to world-weary spite and distrust. Sean Ragon has, though, and over four pugnacious albums of post-punk neo-folk, he and his band of not-so-merry men and women have turned Cult of Love into something of a, well, cult. There may be plenty of fire and ice, but they also have a knack for crafting perfectly paced songs that burst into cathartic climaxes, fury and euphoria making strangely complimentary bedfellows.

Weyes Blood

all adds up to an inviting unease, and they suck you in no matter how much trepidation you feel. You could say their sci-fi-delic, seven-track debut Ships Will Come is the soundtrack of a dystopian universe. Merciless drones, haunting, echo-laden vocals and waves of shimmering guitar wash over your brain; it’s like being swept away by a river of fresh blood.

25 February - OT301, Amsterdam 20.30 | €8 | Free for members Dripping in literary references – from album titles to her adopted moniker – Natalie Mering’s music is a haunting, powerful thing where the fragility of sparse arrangements rubs up against the brutal truth told by her lyrics. Predominantly borrowing from old (medieval old) English folk traditions, her second album The Innocents (released on Mexican Summer) is warped at the edges, pulled into off-kilter shapes by subtle distortions and transitional effects, a nod to her love of tapes and four-track recorders. A weather sensitive Mering recently declared that her work’s ‘creepiness… is only as intentional as you think it is’. Time to stop overthinking this and enjoy.

There’s an unabashed, retro sheen to what this Nashville group does, but it’s all good; close your eyes and it’s almost like the Summer of Love never ended. The sounds of the 1960s may loom large – picking out the obvious influences isn’t hard – although the real trick they pull off is steering clear of trippy hippy cliché. In its place, toe-tapping grooves swim through the haze of acid-folk psychedelia as the songs bustle purposefully along. Their latest release, out via Chicago-based Trouble In Mind, is also a personal throwback for the band as Africa Avenue is the name of a street where they used to hang out as teenagers.

The Tribe

The Tribe is an experimental drama with Shakespearian ambition. The characters communicate through sign language, but their dialogues aren’t translated so it’s up to the viewers to interpret their words. Sergey and Anna meet in a boarding school for the deaf, a tough environment where only the strong survive. Sergey is the new kid, finding his way in the school’s network of organised crime, while Anna is one of the girls he’s supposed to pimp. Boy meets girl, girl meets boy, of course they fall in love. But if you were hoping for something else, you’re missing the point. The Tribe premiered at Cannes’ Semaine de la Critique selection and won three prizes.

Thirtysomethings Ebba and Tomas are off on holiday in the Alps, snowboarding with their young son and daughter.

Posing for the camera of a professional photographer in the opening scene, they project the perfect image: a loving family that is young, happy and healthy.

But of course perfect doesn’t last. In a moment of primal fear, when the family is threatened by a possible avalanche, Tomas checks out, prompting Ebba to reconsider their life together. Ruben Östlund (Play, Involuntary) unravels the modern myths of a picture-perfect family in a film that offers moral dilemmas, plot twists and just enough humour to stomach it.

Keizersgracht 609, Amsterdam Open daily 10.00-18.00, Thur and Fri until 21.00 €11.50 | €1.50 for members

Witte de Withstraat, Rotterdam Open Tue-Sun 11.00-18.00 €5 | Free for members Curated by NEST director Eelco van der Lingen, Shift & Drift is the culmination of the fifth O&O funding scheme for Rotterdam artists. The exhibition sees local artists like our old friend Wouter Venema push the boundaries of their own practice. Also on show is a surreal joint exhibition by Dutch pop-art legend Woody van Amen and painter/musician Hidde van Schie.

This one is a bit of a psychological tear-jerker.

Foam presents a cross-section of the vast oeuvre of Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. Araki is known for his controversial bondage photographs, but the exhibition ranges from stylised photographs of flowers and dolls to gritty blackand-white, over-painted erotica. Also on view is the next instalment in a collaboration with Museum Van Loon, including a series of portraits of the family Van Loon made in the 1900s by famous portraitist Felix Nadar.

Huis Marseille

Keizersgracht 401, Amsterdam Open Tue-Sun 11.00-18.00 €8 | Free for members

The NFM is showing two exhibitions: a selection of surreal photo collages by English conceptual artist John Stezaker and also a special exhibition showcasing 175 years of photography documenting Rotterdam's evolution, iconic architecture and, of course, its people. Its people and its dogs...

Huis Marseille hosts a large group exhibition that combines two seemingly very different art forms: dance and photography. Dancing Light proves that when the two meet, photography is particularly suited to displaying the emotive power and movement of dance.

The exhibition includes contemporary and historic photography, moving between different dances as well as photographic styles.

Wilhelminakade, Rotterdam Open Tue-Fri 10.00-17.00, Sat and Sun 11.00-17.00 €9 | Free for members

‘A lleen De Groene Amsterdammer houdt het nog bij geestelijk voedsel van superieure kwaliteit’ (Remco Campert in de Volkskrant)

Lees De Groene 10 weken voor 15 euro groene.nl/vijftien 70

Agenda. February On the following pages you’ll find a fine selection of concerts, festivals and exhibitions taking place around the country Art: A year at the Stedelijk: Tino Sehgal Until 31 December - Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam Enigmatic artist Tino Sehgal is famous for his performance art pieces that he doesn’t actually execute himself. The year-long survey of Seghal’s work comprises 12 ‘constructed situations’ of varying scale which will be presented in different rooms of the museum.

Music: Alvvays 03 February - Paradiso, Amsterdam Alvvays shouldn’t be as good as they are. Mixing ’60s pop with ’80s distortion is nothing new, yet this Toronto quintet’s bittersweet, Chad VanGaalen-produced debut manages to sound both timeless and fresh.

Music: Disappears 04 February - Rotown, Rotterdam While the last album of this krauty foursome found them slipping Liars and Clinic into their usual crate of influences, their new album, Irreal, has them pushing their sound into even more ominous and minimalistic territory.

Music: White Fence + Ultimate Painting 01 February - Bitterzoet, Amsterdam Though his latest album just dropped last summer, White Fence mastermind Tim Presley is already working on a new LP with Cate Le Bon. Ultimate Painting’s James Hoare (of Veronica Falls) and Jack Cooper (of Mazes), meanwhile, blend the classic pop leanings and infectious melodies of their main bands into something even better.

Art: Prospects & Concepts 05-08 February - Van Nellefabriek, Rotterdam During this year’s Art Rotterdam fair, the Mondriaan Fund presents a showcase of its beneficiary artists from 2013. Among them are Fleur van Dodewaard and Lotte Reimann, great artists that you might remember from our little magazine.

Music: Waxahatchee 01 February - Paradiso, Amsterdam Alabama native Katie Crutchfield makes heart-wrenching, ’90s-indebted folk rock as Waxahatchee. After spending last fall touring solo and opening for Jenny Lewis, she’ll cross the pond with a batch of new songs from her upcoming album.

music and pop are reflected in many of the songs she writes as My Brightest Diamond. Her latest album, This Is My Hand, sparkles with elements of opera, cabaret, classical, folk and indie rock.

Music: Stephen Steinbrink 06 February - Vera, Groningen 07 February - Grasnapolsky Festival, Kootwijk 08 February - Paradiso, Amsterdam Stephen Steinbrink is a rare diamond in the cultural rough that is Phoenix.

Raised by an extremely religious family in a fundamentally boring place, he found solace in songwriting and has developed a dazzling take on indie pop.

Music: Absolutely Free 10 February - Paradiso, Amsterdam 16 February - Rotown, Rotterdam 21 February - dB’s, Utrecht Read more on page 61.

Music: TV on the Radio 11 February - Paradiso, Amsterdam These Brooklyn stalwarts have released some of the most memorably anthemic indie rock of the 2000s, and on their latest album, last year’s Seeds, their gracefully aging sounds are as classy as ever.

Music: Grasnapolsky Festival 06-08 February - Radio Kootwijk, Kootwijk Sure, you could pass these cold winter nights gorging on tea and TV, but we’ll bet watching a ton of lovely, folky bands in a monumental former radio station in the middle of the Veluwe will be much more memorable!

Music: Twin Peaks 12 February - Paradiso Noord, Amsterdam Though they describe themselves as ‘Four doods, gnarly ’tudes, total hunks, play to drunks’, these young Chicagoans aren’t fucking around when it comes to cranking out cocky, convincingly classic-sounding rock’n’roll.

Music: Fat White Family 07 February - Effenaar, Eindhoven 08 February - EKKO, Utrecht 10 February - De Spieghel, Groningen Kindred spirits of such drunken, dirty and desperate bands as the Black Lips and Sleaford Mods, this South London five piece has mastered the art of the mischievous and memorable live show.

Music: Deerhoof 21 February - Melkweg, Amsterdam Over two decades this experimental rock four piece has developed a uniquely playful and complex sound.

On their new album, La Isla Bonita, they remain as inscrutable and delightfully eclectic as ever.

Music: Earth 18 February - Vera, Groningen Dylan Carlson and his ever-rotating cast of bandmates carved out a notoriously loud and droning niche for themselves within doom metal back in the ’90s, but their sound has become far subtler and more psychedelic over time.

Music: Meatbodies 24 February - Vera, Groningen Like the guitarist equivalent of the village bicycle, seemingly every cool band in Cali has had a ride with Chad Ubovich, from Fuzz to Mikal Cronin to together PANGEA to his rad-in-its-own-right project, Meatbodies. Yow!

Music: Dan Deacon & Brassband 19 February - Paradiso Noord, Amsterdam Baltimore’s Dan Deacon is adept at composing multicoloured, spastic 8-bit symphonies to God. In contrast to his exquisite 2012 album America, his forthcoming Glass Riffer is being touted as a return to the more stripped-down approach of his early work.

Music: Warm Graves 24 February - 013, Tilburg 26 February - Vera, Groningen 27 February - Goethe-Institut, Amsterdam Read more on page 65.

Music: Alex G 25 February - Paradiso, Amsterdam A bedroom singer-songwriter cut from the same cloth as Youth Lagoon and Jackson Scott, Philadelphia’s Alex Giannascoli carefully crafts warped, wobbly and weirdly heartwarming lofi guitar pop.

Where The Wild Things Are Billed as a ‘B(eds) & B(ands) Weekender’, Where The Wild Things Are offers music as interesting as the site is beautiful. The verdant greenery of Eemhof’s Centre Parks, forward-thinking indie and alternative music, plus your own bed to retire to: this is how festivals should be.

06-08 March - Bungalow Park de Eemhof, Zeewolde

Jungle

Ex Hex

POND There’s an ol’ fashioned vibe to POND’s stoner, psychedelic pop-rock, but what it lacks in originality it more than makes up for with fun, wit and footstomping goodness.

Panda Bear The music of Noah Lennox continues to delight and confound in equal measure, with new LP Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper his most ambitious, assured record to date.

Death From Above 1979 Back from a seemingly terminal hiatus, the duo is here to blow you away once again, an unstoppable rock’n’roll juggernaut with fuzzedout riffs, pounding drums and the burning sense they’re making up for lost time.

Ex Hex For a band formed a little over a year ago, Ex Hex are amazingly surefooted, their debut LP a fast and furious collection of garage-rock songs tinged with a keen pop sensibility.

Jungle Mining the soft sheen of early 1980s’ UK soul, Jungle have polished and updated the sound for a new generation.

The Black Tambourines Beach-punk revellers The Black Tambourines seduce with loud, messy songs delivered with the kind of nervous vitality that only youth can muster.

Sonic Acts This year’s edition of Sonic Acts fires up your imagination with the exploration of processes that happen on a geological scale, aiming to catalyse new forms of critical thought and artistic practices in order to give a comprehensible dimension to the life of our planet. Pretty important stuff.

Karen Gwyer

M.E.S.H. James Whipple, aka M.E.S.H., brings his self-coined genre of ‘hard club’ to OT301. We’re curious to see what he’s been up to since his hyper-stylised PAN release Scythians, which left us hanging by a thread with its dramatic melodies and subdued bass lines.

jump-starting ecological criticism and doing some damage control.

Karen Gwyer In her search for the proudly odd, No Pain in Pop’s techno experimentalist Karen Gwyer has committed to long-form, fluid compositions in which hefty synth motifs are played till disintegration, lapsing into drone.

Graham Harman Founding member of the Speculative Realism movement and a key figure in object-oriented ontology, Harman sets the tone for the conference – and then, over drinks, will finally settle the matter of that tree falling in a forest.

Douglas Kahn Historian and theorist of media arts and author of Earth Sound Earth Signal, Kahn has written on experimental music in the context of sound studies, electromagnetism and natural media, harkening back to a time when communications technologies were still in a delicate equilibrium with the earth.

Timothy Morton Another advocate of object-oriented ontology, Morton is known for challenging common ecological assumptions, like that boring romantic notion of ‘nature’, all in the hopes of
