DOPE ON PLASTIC

UPDATE: “That’s what I like to hear!”

So as I’m sure a lot of you have already heard, the black on black DOP tanks just arrived from the shop, so those will be getting mailed out first thing next week! Special thanks to everyone who ordered one, we’ve never sold out so fast! Be sure to send us a photo of you wearing your tank and we’ll throw you up on the site! Just a word of caution: with great power comes great responsibility. Wear wisely and have a good weekend!

VIDEO + DOWNLOAD: Pretty Lights - We Must Go On

Derek Smith, aka Pretty Lights, has just released a new track titled “We Must Go On” along with a self-made music video. It’s a soulful hip-hop jam, laced with a vocal hook that is uplifting, reflective, and optimistic. The video expresses and channels emotions in a beautiful collage of shots that capture little moments in people’s lives, from the joyous, to the innocent, to the desperate with an editing style based on quickly cut shots, and precise synchronicity with the music. Derek collaborated with Krystle Blackburn (PLM’s Creative Director) to create the music video.

According to Smith, “…the creation of this track and video is also an artistic explanation as to why I chose the name “Pretty Lights” for my musical project. It embodies the essence of the artistic eye and the idea that almost any moment, anywhere, can be a moment of inspiration and beauty.”
