Siike92 is the work Stevey Yarusinsky and ten days he unleashed a massive collection of "obsucra". Under the heading the.room.dis.connect, Siike92 released three albums filled with strange, beautiful, haunting, and challenging moments. Each release comes with an artbook and a mesmerizing story. Below is the story for my favorite of the three albums, Lavender Town.

A mother’s scrapbook. Three generations of women in a small, mid-western American town named Lavender. The woe of life, as well as it’s humble joys, are revealed through a series of candid photographs and writings. A somber omen sets the ambiance as you enter your voyeur. Reclining, you ponder "fairy’s hair."

Ship Captain Crew released their latest EP "House of Mercury" just over a month ago. The pop band give you numerous packages to purchase on their bandcamp site. My favorite would be the "full band show" package for just $200. Below is the video for the EP’s lead track "Notebook".

For a preview of that package you can catch Ship Captain Crew at Debonair Social Club on October 3rd.
