Art and music. Twas a time when both were connected at the hip—with an emphasis on the hip, where album covers were often as celebrated as the package’s contents.
As such, to celebrate the release of her brand new Warner Brothers full-length, The Golden Echo—out now in the US, Aussie chanteuse Kimbra presided over her own record release and listening party with a performance surrounded by 13 original pieces of art “each inspired by and corresponding to a song on the new record” at LA’s Graffiti Cafe.
The Golden Echo, we hasten to add, is available in a 2 LP configuration bundled with 3 limited edition lithographs, which points to a trend we’d like to see fostered.
We sent TVD LA’s Manny Hebron to check out the action last Thursday night.
