Prewn, the moniker of Izzy Hagerup, has unveiled a song called ‘Woman’. It’s taken from her debut album Through the Window, which has already been previewed with the singles ‘But I Want More’ and ‘Perfect World’. Check it out below.
“I wrote ‘Woman’ directly after a family call with my grandmother in her last days of life, dazed on morphine, dying from covid,” Hagerup said in a statement. “We went around to share memories and I was shaken because I couldn’t think of any. I’d known that woman my whole life, and I had no real idea who she was. This song is about coming to terms with such a loss, doing my best to say my last words, the first and last chance I had to reach for her, to relate to her, to celebrate her. It’s also my ode to not take the people in my life and my own self for granted in this fleeting existence.”
Do you wish to have the perfect outfit for every occasion while traveling? Are you tired of carrying around heavy suitcases during your travels? If your answer to these questions is YES, you have come to the right place.
In this blog, we will dive into the world of travel capsule wardrobes. It is the ultimate solution to mix and match attires effortlessly, creating a number of outfit options for every occasion.
Let’s get started!
Packing for Long Flights
Your travel adventure begins from the moment you step into the airport. And dressing smart for long flights is the key to starting your journey on the right foot.
When selecting your airport outfit, comfort should be your best friend! Opt for loose-fitting, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen for tops and bottoms. To strike the perfect balance between comfort and style, consider going for coordinated sets. These matching pieces look effortlessly put together and allow for easy movement during your travels.
The best part about coord sets is that you can also mix and match the pieces with other items in your wardrobe. The individual top and bottom can be paired with other clothing to create entirely different looks, expanding your outfit options.
Another fantastic option is to rock a pair of loose-fitted cargo pants. You can wear these with a basic white t-shirt or a cute tank top and complete the look with comfy sneakers.
Packing for Special Occasions
Traveling to any destination often means experiencing unique events and special occasions. It could be attending a fancy dinner, a cultural celebration, or a glamorous social gathering; you’ll want to look your best and feel confident in what you wear.
That’s where Party wear dresses come to the rescue! You can pack a few chic and stylish dresses to add a touch of glamour to your travel wardrobe. You can opt for a versatile little black dress that can be dressed up or down for various occasions.
Additionally, you can pack a fashion-forward midi or a flowy maxi dress serving as both a beach day essential and a chic choice for evening parties.
Packing for Adventurous Retreats
If you are embarking on adventurous retreats like hiking, trekking, or camping, your clothing choices play a crucial role. They ensure an enjoyable and hassle-free experience. So, look for moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics. They are sure to keep you cool and dry, even during those uphill climbs and intense activities.
Leggings or quick-drying shorts are excellent options for bottoms, providing freedom of movement and comfort. You can pair them with a stylish performance top that not only looks great but also keeps you feeling fresh throughout your adventure.
While adventure calls for excitement and adrenaline, mother nature is unpredictable. Therefore, be prepared for sudden weather changes by packing a lightweight jacket.
Final Words
As you travel into the world, remember that the real adventure lies not only in the destinations you visit but also in the memories you create along the way. Your travel capsule wardrobe will be your trusty companion, supporting you as you explore new cultures, meet fascinating people, and immerse yourself in extraordinary landscapes.
Festivals and fairs during the entire year. Never-ending events, and every single day filled with something new and experiences you will never get to forget. Even though it sounds practically impossible that there is a place on Earth where every day is celebrated, you are absolutely wrong. In Michigan, you never get to live the same day twice in a row. This amazing state has so many things to offer, including some of the most interesting events in the world. So, we have prepared a list of the events you will find interesting. Ask yourself how you did not know about them earlier.
Western Michigan Fair, Ludington
Big cities are always interesting places to visit and live, but there is a special charm surrounding small places and small towns. Smaller towns have the leverage to set themselves apart from big cities by organizing events that involve the entire community. This outstanding fair traditionally starts on August 6th and ends on August 12th. The Western Michigan Fair is the event where you will see the entire community participating and people enjoying seeing their neighbors, friends, and family celebrate the waning days of summer and appreciate inborn family values. A fun fact about this Festival is that, with the exception of WWII, it has been held every year since 1936 in Ludington. It was modified in 2020 because of the concerns surrounding the COVID-19 virus. There are many different events happening during the fair, but the most interesting one is the real attraction of the fair, which is the 4-H exhibits and animals. Young people from the area work really hard during the year to raise their sheep, cows, chickens, and rabbits and wait for the judge’s ribbon.
Outlaw Music Festival
When you see the lineup for this festival, you will realize that it is legendary. Reading names such as Willie Nelson and Family, Street Cheese Incident, Bob Weir, and Wolf Bros, you know that the show would be epic. So, the Outlaw Music Festival is the one that starts the fall season on a serious note. This traveling festival’s first stop is Clarkston, Michigan, in September and is led by the legendary Willie Nelson. Since this is something like a once in a lifetime experience, it is the best option for you to lock those cards out as soon as possible.
Halloween & Trick-or-Treating
The sky is heavy, with ominous clouds hanging low above the city. Your skin crawls when hit by a cold wind, and you see trees turning the color of flames. It is October- a time when ghouls, witches, and pumpkins come out to scare whoever passes and startle innocent souls in search of treats. Of course, we are talking aboutHalloween, the scariest time in Michigan. Do not forget to bring your treats, you will need them.
Michigan is a phenomenal state where you really can have an amazing time. A huge number of annual festivals and events, which you will be amazed to see, take place all across the country. You should not be playing games; go and visit festivals.
Molly Burch has released a new single, ‘Unconditional’, taken from her forthcoming album Daydreamer. Check it out via the accompanying video below.
“This song is a traditional unrequited love song but I wrote it thinking about how I feel as a working artist in todays climate,” Burch explained in a statement. “A big part of pursuing a creative job is being okay with the roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes things feel positive and sometimes you feel a lot of rejection. This is my way of expressing that through a narrative of not being seen or appreciated by a person you were romantic with.”
Daydreamer comes out September 29 on Captured Tracks. It includes the previously shared track ‘Physical’.
Sparklehorse’s cover of the Robyn Hitchcock song ‘Listening to the Higsons’ has been released. It’s set to appear on the upcoming posthumous album Bird Machine, which has already been previewed with the singles ‘It Will Never Stop’, ‘Evening Star Supercharger’, and ‘The Scull of Lucia’. Mark Linkous recorded his rendition with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in 2009. Listen to it below.
Teenage Fanclub have put out another single from their forthcoming LP, Nothing Lasts Forever. This one’s called ‘Back to the Light’, and it follows previous cuts ‘Foreign Land’ and ‘Tired of Being Alone’. Check it out below.
“I liked the idea of using being in a band as a metaphor for a personal relationship,” the band’s Norman Blake, who wrote the track, said in a statement. “They are not entirely dissimilar experiences. Like a few others on the album, this song has saxophone on it. The first time we’ve had that since Songs From Northern Britain. Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo) played those parts; we really like the richness it brings to the song. Steve will be with us when we head out on tour in October in Europe.”
Nothing Lasts Forever is set to arrive on September 22.
Laurel Halo has released ‘Atlas’, the title track off her forthcoming album. It follows the previously released single ‘Belleville’. Take a listen below.
Atlas, Halo’s first LP since 2018’s Raw Silk Uncut Wood, is slated for release September 22 via her own imprint Awe. It features contributions from collaborators including saxophonist Bendik Giske, violinist James Underwood, cellist Lucy Railton, and vocalist Coby Sey.
Bena Rose Bruce has announced a new EP called Lighting Up. Following her latest album Deep Is the Way, which arrived in January, the EP features reimagined versions of four album tracks, plus the recently released title track. It’s out on September 1. Along with the news, the singer-songwriter has enlisted the Budapest Art Orchestra for a reworking of the album track ‘Destroy Myself’. Listen to ‘Destroy Myself (Avoid Myself Orchestral Version)’ below.
“Bringing these songs to live again with the Budapest Art Orchestra was something pretty unique,” Bruce reflected in a statement. “It was all done via zoom, and we only had an hour to record with the orchestra, so a lot of preparation was done beforehand but we were so nervous about how much we could do in an hour, but it seemed to work and the end result was incredible, it’s amazing how the strings can bring such emotion to the songs.”
1. Destroy Myself (Avoid Myself Orchestral Version)
2. Morning Stars (Here for You Orchestral Version)
3. Future (Wanted to Be Your Star Orchestral Version)
4. Harshlight (We’ll Be Holidaying Chelsea Girls Version)
5. Lighting Up
Deeper have shared a new single, ‘Fame’, which is lifted from their upcoming LP Careful! – out September 8 via Sub Pop. It follows earlier offerings ‘Sub’, ‘Build a Bridge’, and ‘Tele’. Check out its accompanying video below.
“‘Fame’ is a sentimental favorite of ours – to us, it’s the sound of ‘Careful!’,” the band said in a press release. “It embodies the conversations in your mind after feeling you made a mistake, and the thoughts linger in your head afterward. The lyricism is built on repeated mantras, and the instrumentation builds the tension. This is the first song from the record that embodies a more experimental side we’re excited to showcase.
“The concept for the video focuses on us being hunted by a mythical creature called a Wendigo,” they added. “The Anishinaabe have a story of a giant cannibal called Wendigo that feeds solely on human flesh, blood, and bones, that grows every time it eats, but its hunger is never quenched. One becomes a Wendigo when they start leading an unbalanced life when they think only of themselves rather than their community. At its root, Wendigos represent selfishness and gluttony, which to the Anishinaabeg are the worst human shortcomings.”
Taking Meds have dropped a new song, ‘Life Song’. It’s set too appear on their upcoming album Dial M for Meds alongside previous singles ‘Memory Lane’ and ‘Outside’. Check out a video for it below.
“This is the dumbest song I’ve ever written,” frontman Skylar Sarkis remarked in a statement. “I’m glad we’re releasing it early because everyone is delirious from the heat this summer. It’s perfect for that. Roll your windows down and pretend it’s about being in love or something. It’s a happy-feeling song that’s really about being overwhelmed. I always welcome an opportunity to escape reality by getting absorbed in music. It doesn’t always work, but when it does, it feels like one of the more guilt-free and even rewarding ways to numb out. It seemed intuitive to put that idea into this kind of carefree, jangly song.”
