The rest is window dressing

without comments

I often spot curious things in this window as I walk down Devonshire Street in Surry Hills.

It’s the shopfront of a design firm called Ascender, and this time it’s stocked with odd little felt patches bearing phrases related to Bjork’s old group, the Sugarcubes, like the songs ‘Mama’ and ‘Fucking In Rhythm and Sorrow’, ‘Blue Eyed Pop’, ‘Motor Crash’ and ‘Birthday’.

They blogged about it – you can see their back catalogue of window dressing there, too – though there’s not much by way of explanation.
