GIG: MAGIC POTION
Two and a bit years after their debut album Pink Gum, the Magic Potion boys are back in town. Their new album Endless Graffiti (a reference to the endless flows of information in our modern age) arrives on Friday, full of fuzz-rich indie-rock. It’s streaming now on Hype Machine, and you can hear it live at Slaktkyrkan on Friday. Delsbo Beach Club support.
Oct 26, 18:00-22:00, Slaktkyrkan
GIG: GRANT
Sweden’s current foremost purveyor of soaring, theatrical pop music is back in town. Grant, whose songs sound like stained glass windows translated to musical form, is coming off the back of the nationwide tour to promote her debut album In Bloom, and returns to her hometown at Debaser on Friday. She’s joined by Malmö’s Majken, whose tender, harp-led dream-pop has also won her a few fans recently.
Oct 26, 19:00-03:00, Debaser Strand

EXHIBITION: ARTIPELAG
Artipelag’s autumn exhibition Margiela/ Hermès takes a look back at a notable time in fashion history, and the collaboration between Belgian designer Martin Margiela and the historic fashion house Hermès. Between the years 1997 and 2003, Margiela was given the task of creating women’s collections for the 200-year-old brand. This collaboration created fashion that went to places never explored before, an avant-garde mix of Margiela’s adventurism and Hermès’ tradition and heritage. The exhibition runs until March, having been originally put together by Margiela and Kaat Debo for ModeMuseum Antwerp. This Artipelag version presents Margiela’s own work in contrast with his Hermès creations.
