It’s a topsy-turvy universe of darker fantasy, and this piece in particular presents a kind of dream-like world. The raw, exposed feet of the divers, a pool of contrasting white underneath their soles, makes the viewer ask him or herself where these divers are, what their purpose is, and how they exist, as well as if we, the viewer, exist in the same way.

Raw from the Saw: Ceremonials by Florence + the Machine
by Carolyn Hartley December 7, 2011Florence + the Machine’s music is known for knockout vocals and powerful drumbeats that transcends to any audience. Their latest album Ceremonials, released on Nov. 1, 2011, although catchy, lacks cohesiveness and at times sounds like a overwhelming mess of ambiguous instruments, underneath Florence Welch’s overpowering howl.

Raw From the Saw: Crazy Clown Time by David Lynch
by Zachary Anderson December 7, 2011The title alone should really give the discriminating listener an indication of the kind of warped, surreal sensibility one can expect from the director of Mulholland Drive in his first full-length album. Of course, David Lynch’s body of work is characterized by its evocative musical soundscapes, much of it provided by composer extraordinaire, Angelo Badalamenti, that work to heighten the pervasive mood of confusion and underlying darkness that Lynch is best known for. It makes sense that the American auteur would extend his interests to music, for much of Crazy Clown Time evokes the same visceral fragmentation of the (post)modern world that permeate his visual output.
