The title Showcaller is a theatrical term which references the performative aspects of Chetrit’s work, the power dynamic between subject and photographer, and, ultimately, between the photographer and her audience.

Within an hour of the album’s surprise release, the band were performing—for the very first time—on network television, on the Late Show With Stephen Colbert. (Dead Oceans)

Throughout Remind Me Tomorrow, Van Etten veers towards the driving, dark glimmer moods that have illuminated the edges of her music and pursues them full force, delivering an ambitious album that provokes our most sensitive impulses: reckless affections, spirited nurturing, and tender courage.

A Peculiar Paradise: Florida Photographs

Book by Nathan Benn

During his twenty-year stint as a photographer for the National Geographic Society, 300 of Nathan Benn’s photographs were published in National Geographic magazine and numerous books. His 2013 award-winning book, Kodachrome Memory: American Pictures 1972-1990, was published by Powerhouse Books and praised by The Wall St Journal as “timeless and particular.” Benn’s follow up,  A Peculiar Paradise: Florida Photographs, shows the photographer’s home state at the dawn of the 1980s, a time when Florida’s only true constant was change. Benn’s vibrant, idiosyncratic images reflect the charming—and sometimes dangerous— chaos of Florida at the time, a place that came to embody both the quintessence of suburban Americana and the depth of the melting pot, and the source of Benn’s own nostalgic longing.
