Sam Valenti IV could be construed as an aesthetician, though not the kind concerned with eyebrows and skin treatments. Since the ripe age of 19, he’s been running Ghostly International, a record label with the tagline “Of Art and Artifice”. Home to acts as disparate as Matthew Dear, Dabrye and School of Seven Bells, Ghostly’s aesthetic has garnered it critical acclaim and a loyal tribe of fans for nigh on 10 years now.
a great writeup on our boy sam
Early color photographs (100 years ago!) of Russia.
My grandather had a few photos of his life in the pre-revolutionary Russian Pale of Settlement, but they were black and white, which is of course how I picture life then. Seeing this is sobering, it’s a few neighborhoods over from how he grew up, but not too far at all, and the idea that this is what the world looked like to him is kind of amazing to consider.
