Think Louder

“I hope the new album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me. It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply and joyously infectious. There is never a masterplan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems we’re happy.”
“Wild God” will be out on August 30th.

Nicely said,

Exactly, Miles Davis.

With “Hit Me Hard And Soft” Billie Eilish leaves the image of the rebellious teenager full of insecurities behind and transforms herself into a mature, self-aware artist. An impressive offering condensed into ten memorable, intriguing and eclectic songs, co-written and produced by her brother Finneas.

Jake Bugg’s new single “Zombieland” is out now and it’s an absolute BANGER!
Album out in September.
Stay tuned.

Samsung’s answer to Apple.
Samsung targeted the market leader, quickly responding to the failure of Apple's widely criticised 'Crush'. Agency BBH US launched an ad in which a woman retrieves a crushed guitar and uses a Samsung tablet to learn the instrument.
The choice to show an old and battered guitar, but still usable thanks to Samsung technology, conveys a powerful message about the ability to turn negative situations into positive opportunities.
This commercial also shows a different approach to competition in the smartphone and tablet market. While Apple has often been at the forefront of creating eye-catching and innovative adverts, Samsung proves it can be done with creativity.
Very Bernbach, in our opinion.

Indeed.

Happy birthday, Josh Homme

The amazing Mary Wells Lawrence, inventor of the “I 🖤NEW YORK” slogan and advertising legend. She was the first woman to found, own and run a major advertising agency (Wells, Rich Greene) and the first female CEO of a company traded on the Big Board of the New York Stock Exchange. Her client roster included Procter & Gamble Co., Trans World Airlines, Alka Seltzer, Miles Laboratories, Philip Morris, Bic Pen Corp., Ralston Purina Co., Midas Inc., White-Westinghouse Electric and Sun Oil Co.
May the earth be light to her.

Sabrina Teitelbaum, also known as Blondshell, is the alternative rock hero our future deserves. We sweat we tried to switch off her devastating debut album a few times, but it looks like it’s impossible.

The ad that changed advertising forever.

The Lemon Twigs’ new album “A Dream Is All We Know” is a rare collection of songs exuding optimism. Thank you guys!

"We are so busy measuring public opinion that we forget that we can shape it. We are so busy listening to statistics that we forget that we can create them."

Nine Inch Nails released “The Downward Spiral” 30 years ago.

On Yard Act’s gorgeous new album “Where’s My Utopia” there’s so much going on that something new strikes you every time you listen.

Belgian five-piece Whispering Sons brings a dark and unique blend of experimental and frenetic post-punk. The propulsive instrumentation combined with deep vocals amounts to a constant sense of unease that’s been inherent in their music since their beginnings.

The new Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album will be out on August 30th. Can’t wait!
