Richard Dawson Announces New Album ‘End of the Middle’, Shares New Single

Richard Dawson has announced his latest LP, End of the Middle, which will be released on February 14 via Domino. The follow-up to 2022’s The Ruby Cord is led by the single ‘Polytunnel’, which arrives with a video directed by James Hankins. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.

“I think I know what’s happening in the song, but hopefully that’ll be different for each person listening,” Dawson said in a statement. “I like that the line ‘Out the gate and down the lane’ – it could mean going down the allotment, or it could mean going somewhere else. Tunnel is obviously a very loaded word. There’s possibly a lot of drama happening outside of the lines of the song…. Or not. It might just be a song about an allotment.”

Introducing End of the Middle, he shared: “I wanted this album to be small-scale and very domestic. To be stripped back, reconnect with the basics and let everything speak for itself – to be really stark and naked by just putting the words and melodies out there.”

“It zooms in quite close-up to try and explore a typical middle class English family home,” he added. “We’re listening to the stories of people from three or four generations of perhaps the same family. But really, it’s about how we break certain cycles. I think the family is a useful metaphor to examine how things are passed on generationally.”

Album Review: Laura Marling, ‘Patterns in Repeat’

Eight solo albums into Laura Marling‘s career, one would be tempted to describe Patterns in Reat using a lot of the same adjectives that have long defined her songwriting: intimate, stunning, sincere. To celebrate Patterns in Repeat on those terms might also be a way to make up for lost time – the record marks the longest wait between new material since the 34-year-old first put out music as a new adult – especially considering that 2021’s Animal, her second collaborative album with Mike Lindsey under the name LUMP, marked another stylistic departure. (“It felt like getting the feeling back of making the first album you’ve ever made,” Lindsay said at the time.) But while Patterns in Repeat falls spiritually in line with 2020’s Song for Our Daughter and a lot of Marling’s past output, we’ve never heard her quite so unadorned and unguarded, her heart both lightened and moved by the confines of familiar spaces. Intimate, gorgeous, all that still is true – but it’s also tangibly her homeliest and most lived-in record to date.

The lived-in aspect is obvious: in contrast to Song for Our Daughter, which was addressed to and revolved around a fictional daughter, Patterns in Repeat was written after the birth of her daughter in 2023. Indeed, Marling often had her daughter beside her as she crafted these songs, turning her living room into a recording studio and rendering them like stolen moments in the everyday; the intimacy is ever-present, just sneaking in with each take. You don’t need a reviewer to tell you, though: a baby cooing is among the first sounds we hear on the opening track, ‘Child of Mine’, and the lyrics are descriptively autobiographical: “You and your dad are dancing in the kitchen/ Life is slowing down but itʼs still bitchin’.”

Producer Dom Monks suggested – “argued,” per press materials – to properly re-record the tracks in his studio, but Marling wanted to preserve the raw material. She wasn’t, however, against fleshing them out in ways that not only beautify but animate the subtleties of – and subtle differences between – these songs, like the backing vocals that make ‘Child of Mine’ ever so tender. With Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story score as a reference, Marling handed the recordings to Rob Moose, whose string arrangements cradle ‘No One’s Going To Love You Like I Can’ with a firmness the piano can barely reach as she delivers the line, “If life is just a dream/ Iʼm gonna make it mean something worth a damn.” And Monks works his magic on songs like ‘Your Girl’, which haunts and quivers in its closeness, balancing each new sound that unfurls and cutting it somewhere between the naked feeling of aloneness and eternal connection. The vocal effects clouding the word “abstract” on ‘Patterns’ is another brilliant touch.

The album’s production and arrangement ultimately befit its subject matter: Patterns in Repeat may begin with the first song Marling wrote after her daughter’s birth, anchoring us in the present, but once her new reality sinks in, she wanders further off. And the more she veers beyond, but always around, the record’s domestic framing, the more she can stretch its sonic palette. The middle of the album in particular sees Marling slipping into the deeper recesses of memory, tending to the quiet and uncharacteristically ominous mourning of ‘The Shadows’, perhaps one of her most striking compositions. It’s followed by the instrumental ‘Interlude (Time Passages)’, which links Marling’s clear-eyed meditations with the strange dreamworld she invokes with LUMP. Then she turns to tunes rooted in a time she hardly or couldn’t possibly remember: with ‘Looking Back’, she tackles a song her father wrote in the ’70s, her hushed vocals keeping its unabashed nostalgia at bay, while ‘Caroline’ tells a story out of a half-remembered chorus. The lullaby that closes off the album, too, feels timeless.

So while Patterns in Repeat is fully immersed in and awed by the world of new parenthood, its tidal shifts and simple rhythms, it grows all the more fascinated by its relationship with the past; the ways family, lineage, and longing penetrate the domestic sphere. Looking back and beyond autobiography is how Marling delineates the titular patterns, but it’s also how she contemplates her own place, not just as a mother, but as a songwriter – two roles often presumed to be conflicting. On ‘Song for Our Daughter’, she sang, “Lately I’ve been thinking/ About our daughter growing old/ All of the bullshit that she might be told”; now, she affirms, “But Iʼve spoken to the angels who protect you/ Because youʼre mine, they cast their golden light across this child.” Marling threads her creative output through Patterns in Repeat, too, even repurposing a string passage from Once I Was an Eagle to wind down the title track. All the way back in 2011’s ‘Don’t Ask Me Why’, she sang, “I was thrown and blown and tossed and turned until/ Time found its hand and called an end.” Time still has the same power, she realizes, but the relief comes in its circular nature, the interminable now feeding into history. “Long nights, fast years, so they say,” she sighs at the beginning of the album, then weaves them all into one.

Cloakroom Release New Song ‘Unbelonging’

Cloakroom have signed to Closed Casket Activities, marking the announcement with a new single called ‘Unbelonging’. The track arrives with an accompanying video filmed over the course of the band’s recent European tour. Check it out below.

“It’s a pop song wielding 140 bpm of optimism that can fall apart and dishearten just as quickly as it captivates – Cloakroom meets Psychedelic Furs,” the group said of the new song in a statement. About the visual, they added: “Similar to a Crowelian ceremonial dagger, all the lyrics to the new record were crafted under the cover of darkness, predominantly in a moving vehicle; predominantly leaving any number of border town bars. That’s why we chose to do a ‘found footage’ kind of delivery method for the video.”

According to a press release, the follow-up to 2022’s Dissolution Wave is due next year. ‘Unbelonging’ and the rest of its songs were tracked in December of 2023 with engineer Zac Montez at Electrical Audio in Chicago and Rec Room Recording in Des Plaines, Illinois.

The Evolution of Dolce & Gabbana: From the Runway to Global Icon

Dolce & Gabbana, a brand synonymous with luxury, elegance, and innovation, has become one of the most recognizable names in the fashion world. From its humble beginnings on the Italian runway to becoming a global icon, Dolce & Gabbana’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Let’s take a closer look at the evolution of this fashion powerhouse and explore how it continues to influence the industry today.

The Birth of a Fashion House

Dolce & Gabbana was founded in 1985 by Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Their unique blend of sensuality, Mediterranean heritage, and bold aesthetics quickly set them apart. In their early collections, Dolce & Gabbana celebrated Italian culture, drawing inspiration from Sicily, baroque art, and vintage film. This distinct style, which merged tradition with modernity, became their hallmark.

Their debut runway show at Milan Fashion Week in 1985 was a game-changer. Despite their limited resources, the collection received positive attention, putting Dolce & Gabbana on the map of international fashion. They followed it up with their first women’s collection, “Real Women,” in 1986, solidifying their status as rising stars in the industry.

Defining Moments: The 1990s and 2000s

The 1990s marked a defining period for Dolce & Gabbana. Their iconic corset dresses, sharp tailoring, and signature lace became symbols of the brand’s bold femininity. Celebrities like Madonna and Naomi Campbell embraced their daring designs, helping to boost their visibility worldwide.

In 1993, Dolce & Gabbana reached a significant milestone when they designed the wardrobe for Madonna’s “Girlie Show” tour. The collaboration brought them unprecedented attention and helped establish them as key players on the global fashion scene. Their focus on blending sensuality with sophistication, while emphasizing strong female figures, resonated deeply with women across the world.

During this period, Dolce & Gabbana also expanded into men’s fashion, fragrance, and accessories, further strengthening their global presence. Their menswear lines mirrored the bold, confident spirit of their women’s collections, with tailored suits and strong, masculine silhouettes.

From Runway to Red Carpet: A Global Icon Emerges

As the brand gained momentum, Dolce & Gabbana became a staple on the red carpet. Their designs became a favorite among Hollywood’s elite, from Angelina Jolie to Beyoncé, making Dolce & Gabbana synonymous with luxury and glamour. Their ability to combine classic Italian craftsmanship with cutting-edge design ensured that they remained at the forefront of both haute couture and ready-to-wear fashion.

In addition to their runway success, Dolce & Gabbana revolutionized the fashion landscape by creating a lifestyle brand. Their offerings expanded to include fragrances, eyewear, and home décor, all of which embodied the same high-end, Mediterranean-inspired luxury. By the early 2000s, the brand had become a symbol of status and sophistication across the globe.

Cultural Influence and Staying Power

What sets Dolce & Gabbana apart from many other fashion brands is their deep connection to their Italian roots and their ability to stay culturally relevant. Their designs consistently celebrate Italian culture, family values, and craftsmanship, creating an emotional connection with their audience. Whether through their romantic prints or ornate, baroque-inspired collections, Dolce & Gabbana has maintained a sense of authenticity while pushing the boundaries of modern fashion.

Their collections continue to captivate fashion lovers with innovative takes on classic Italian motifs. Over the years, they’ve embraced digital transformations, hosting virtual runway shows and collaborating with fashion influencers to stay in tune with modern trends.

Sustainability and Looking to the Future

Like many other luxury brands, Dolce & Gabbana has also made strides in sustainability. In recent years, the brand has committed to reducing its environmental impact, focusing on sustainable fabrics, ethical production methods, and responsible sourcing. Their efforts aim to balance luxury with a growing demand for eco-conscious fashion, ensuring that the brand remains relevant in an evolving industry.

Where to Find Dolce & Gabbana Today

Dolce & Gabbana’s evolution from a small Italian design duo to a global fashion icon is a testament to their creativity, innovation, and commitment to quality. Today, their collections are available in flagship stores around the world, online platforms, and through luxury retailers.

If you’re looking to add a touch of Dolce & Gabbana’s iconic style to your wardrobe, you can explore a wide range of Dolce & Gabbana items on Miinto. Whether it’s a bold handbag, statement jewelry, or a timeless dress, you can find authentic Dolce & Gabbana pieces that speak to the brand’s rich heritage and modern luxury.

Conclusion: The Legacy of Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana has come a long way since their first runway show in the 1980s. From redefining Italian fashion to becoming a global symbol of elegance and creativity, their journey reflects the power of innovation and staying true to one’s roots. As they continue to evolve, Dolce & Gabbana remains a timeless beacon of luxury, influencing trends and shaping the fashion industry for generations to come.

Lorna Simpson Debuts a New Body of Work at Hauser & Wirth New York

In her latest exhibition, Earth & Sky, artist Lorna Simpson embarks on a compelling journey into the hidden forces—cosmic, social, and generational—that shape our human experience. Opening at Hauser & Wirth, New York, from November 2, 2024, through January 11, 2025, the exhibition invites viewers to delve into the complexities of identity, history, and existence.Simpson’s work fuses the tangible with the metaphysical. It invites the audience to reflect on these profound themes.

Earth & Sky showcases a compelling collection that includes expansive paintings and a striking text-based sculpture. This artwork intertwines reflections on the natural world with contemplations on human conflict. Drawing inspiration from the 1929 textbook Minerals from Earth and Sky, Simpson crafts grand canvases that create a sweeping narrative, connecting the marvels of the universe to instances of human strife. Through her use of silvery greys and inky blacks, her paintings evoke both the grandeur of geological landscapes and the darker imagery of man-made destruction.

As a result of its near-sacred atmosphere, Simpson’s work is amplified by the gallery itself. In her works, she juxtaposes natural textures like rock formations with patterns that suggest bullet holes silkscreened on canvas in star-shaped constellations that suggest bullet holes. With these “stars,” viewers enter a space where beauty and brutality intersect, evoking both the allure and danger inherent in violent forms. Each layer encourages contemplation of the hidden meanings that lie just beneath the surface.

The Best Strategies for Combining Savings and Smart Spending

Personal finance is about more than just budgets and savings accounts—it’s about making intentional choices that enhance your overall well-being. Whether saving for a rainy day or working toward long-term goals, financial planning can help you achieve stability while still enjoying the things that matter most to you. 

Many think managing money means cutting out all the little pleasures, but with a balanced approach, you can save wisely without feeling restricted. This guide will walk you through practical strategies for managing your finances effectively while maintaining a lifestyle that suits you.

Investing in Long-Term Financial Security

A solid financial foundation is built on making choices that pay off in the long run. One of the best ways to ensure long-term financial security is by focusing on investments that provide lasting value. This could mean putting money into a retirement fund, contributing to a 401(k) or IRA, or building an emergency savings account. 

By prioritizing these kinds of investments, you create a cushion that can help you weather unexpected expenses or plan for future needs. Financial planning means thinking ahead, even when it comes to day-to-day decisions. Setting aside a portion of your monthly income can help cover unforeseen expenses without dipping into your emergency fund. 

Additionally, making thoughtful decisions about large purchases—like choosing a fuel-efficient car or investing in energy-saving home improvements—can save time. These strategies contribute to a stable financial future while allowing you to manage the present with greater peace of mind.

Mindful Spending for Financial Balance

One key aspect of personal finance is being mindful of your spending habits. It’s not just about cutting costs but about understanding where your money goes and making sure it aligns with your priorities. Creating a monthly budget that reflects your goals can make it easier to allocate funds for both necessary expenses and the things that bring you joy.

By tracking your spending, you can identify areas where small adjustments could lead to significant savings. For instance, reducing unnecessary subscriptions or planning meals to avoid food waste can add up over time. Mindful spending is about finding a balance between saving and enjoying your life—knowing when to cut back and when to allow yourself small splurges that don’t disrupt your financial goals. 

Using Financial Tools to Estimate Your Savings

An essential part of managing personal finances is understanding how much you’re saving and where those savings come from. A savings tracker or a budgeting app can be a powerful tool. These resources help you see the impact of your choices, such as cutting back on non-essential spending or paying down debt faster.

For example, if you decide to limit your dining-out budget or cut back on impulse purchases, a savings calculator can show you how these small adjustments translate into actual savings over time. You can better understand how everyday choices contribute to your financial health by tracking your progress. This insight can be a great motivator, especially seeing how quickly small changes can add to bigger goals, like building an emergency fund or saving for a large purchase.

Building a Contingency Fund for Financial Stability

A contingency fund is one of the cornerstones of a sound financial plan. This fund serves as a financial buffer, allowing you to handle unexpected expenses without going into debt. Whether it’s an emergency car repair, an unexpected medical bill, or a home appliance needing replacement, having a contingency fund ensures you can manage these surprises with less stress.

To build a contingency fund, set aside a portion of your monthly income until you have enough to cover three to six months of living expenses. This gives you a safety net to handle life’s uncertainties without derailing your financial goals. A contingency fund offers peace of mind, making it easier to focus on other aspects of your financial plan, knowing that you have a fallback option if needed.

Managing Debt While Reaching Financial Goals

Managing debt effectively is a crucial part of personal finance. Debt can be a burden if left unchecked, but with the right approach, you can pay it down while still working toward your financial goals. The key is creating a balanced repayment plan within your budget. Rather than cutting out all discretionary spending, prioritize high-interest debts like credit cards while making smaller payments toward lower-interest loans.

This approach allows you to reduce the overall cost of debt while still enjoying some of the things you love. For example, allocate a set monthly amount for entertainment or hobbies while directing extra funds toward your debt repayment. Over time, this can help you become debt-free without feeling deprived, freeing up more of your income for saving, investing, or other financial priorities.

Saving for Experiences and Future Goals

Financial planning isn’t just about covering day-to-day expenses—it’s also about saving for the future experiences and goals that matter to you. Whether you’re planning for a family vacation, saving for a home down payment, or building up a college fund, having specific savings goals can help you stay focused. Consider setting up dedicated savings accounts for each goal, contributing to them regularly, and watching your progress over time.

For example, if you’re saving for a trip, divide the total estimated cost by the number of months until you plan to travel. This way, you can set a monthly savings target that makes your goal feel more achievable. A budgeting app can help automate this process, making it easier to see how much you must set aside each month. By planning, you can enjoy these moments without the stress of last-minute expenses, knowing you’ve already accounted for the cost.

Conclusion

Balancing personal finance with a fulfilling lifestyle doesn’t have to be a struggle. By focusing on long-term value, using financial tools to track savings, and building a solid contingency fund, you can create a stable financial future without sacrificing the things that make life enjoyable. Personal finance is about understanding your priorities, making deliberate choices, and sticking to a plan that aligns with your goals.

Make Every Celebration Unforgettable with Premium Party Equipment

Planning a memorable celebration requires more than just good food and a guest list: it’s the ambiance, entertainment, and atmosphere that truly elevate an event. Premium party equipment can transform any gathering into an unforgettable experience, be it a birthday bash, wedding, or corporate event. From stylish seating to professional lighting, the right equipment brings the “wow” factor to every occasion. Let’s make the most of premium party equipment and create an event your guests will always remember.

Choose a Reliable Rental Provider

The first step to ensuring a flawless celebration is choosing a reliable rental provider for your party. If you live in the area, look for one that meets all your party hire needs in Canberra: the right provider will have a variety of high-quality options, from tables and chairs to audiovisual systems, allowing you to tailor the setup to your event’s theme and size. Working with a reputable provider also means you can count on timely delivery, professional setup, support throughout the event, and — above all — making the process stress-free.

Look for reviews and testimonials to gauge customer satisfaction. A provider with a reputation for reliability and high-quality products can give you confidence that every detail will be handled smoothly.

Select the Right Seating and Tables for Your Guests

Comfortable seating and well-organized tables are essential for any successful event. Consider the type of event and the needs of your guests when choosing seating options. For formal events like weddings or galas, elegant chairs and round tables create a sophisticated atmosphere, while casual events may benefit from bar stools or lounge seating.

Make sure that you have enough seating to accommodate all guests comfortably. If you’re hosting a large group, arrange the tables and chairs in a way that allows for easy movement and social interaction. The right layout will contribute to a welcoming and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Create Ambiance with Lighting and Décor

Lighting aims to set the mood for any celebration. From string lights to chandeliers, the right lighting can add warmth, elegance, or excitement to your event space. Use soft, ambient lighting for intimate gatherings or bold, colorful lights for high-energy celebrations. Many rental companies offer a variety of lighting options, including LED lights, spotlights, and even custom monograms.

Don’t overlook the impact of décor items like drapery, centerpieces, and floral arrangements. Using premium décor items enhances the visual appeal of your event and creates a memorable setting that will captivate your guests.

Enhance the Experience with Professional Sound Systems

Good sound quality can make or break an event, especially when speeches, music, or entertainment are involved. Investing in a high-quality sound system ensures that all announcements and music are heard clearly by guests throughout the venue. Whether you need a PA system for a wedding toast or speakers for a dance floor, professional audio equipment is a must.

Many rental providers offer sound systems that include microphones, speakers, and mixers, along with setup and support services. Ensuring crystal-clear sound keeps guests engaged and makes your celebration more enjoyable and immersive.

Keep Guests Comfortable with Climate Control

Outdoor events or venues without climate control can pose challenges in extreme weather conditions. Consider renting portable heaters, fans, or air conditioning units to keep guests comfortable regardless of the season. Climate-controlled party equipment maintains a pleasant environment so that guests fully enjoy the event without discomfort.

Many rental providers offer portable options that are easy to set up and adjust based on the needs of your space. Take control of the climate, and you ensure that everyone can focus on celebrating, regardless of the weather.

Provide Entertainment Options for All Ages

Entertainment is a key component of any unforgettable celebration. From dance floors and photo booths to arcade games and karaoke machines, premium entertainment equipment adds excitement and fun to your event. For family-friendly gatherings, consider options that cater to both kids and adults, such as bounce houses or interactive games.

Offering a variety of entertainment options keeps guests engaged and provides unique experiences that will leave a lasting impression. For formal events, consider live performers or interactive stations where guests can capture memorable moments.

Consider a Tent for Outdoor Celebrations

If you’re hosting an outdoor event, a tent can be a valuable addition, providing shelter from the elements and creating a more defined event space. Tents come in various sizes and styles, from open-sided canopies to fully enclosed structures with clear windows and flooring. Adding drapery, lighting, and décor to a tent creates an elegant and customizable space for weddings, receptions, or other outdoor events.

Tents also add versatility to outdoor celebrations and give you the possibility to create a comfortable and intimate setting. There are plenty of rental providers out there that can assist with tent setup, and that everything is secure and weatherproof.

Making every celebration unforgettable requires careful planning, thoughtful décor, and the right equipment. From finding a reputable provider to choosing the perfect lighting, sound, and entertainment options, these elements can elevate any event into a memorable experience. With attention to detail and quality equipment, you can create a celebration that delights and captivates your guests, leaving them with lasting memories.
