"The Lacemakers" short experimental film is a clever new visual endeavor by Alice Cohen and NY-based filmmaker Stephanie Wuertz, featuring a new version of this instrumental track created especially for the film.

The video was shot on high contrast, black and white 16mm film; animated lace was optically printed and superimposed on footage of Alice Cohen channeling a mystifying silent movie star persona, as well as spiders: the proto-lacemakers. The imagery is smoothly threaded between coarse silhouettes and fine detailing, alternately hiding and revealing Cohen's glistening eyes. This artful composite complements the alluring, far-east tinted synth loops. (International Tapes co-premiere)

"The Lacemakers" was first released on Daniel Lopatin’s 2010 compilation “Radio Scenic Glow Volume One.” A new version appeared on the "Pink Keys" LP released via Olde English Spelling Bee and Crinoline Records.

The demise of Olde English Spelling Bee was one of the great underground music tragedies of 2010, but, thankfully the label has been resurrected and is releasing Alice Cohen's Pink Keys album today. We're pleased to offer a second track from the album “Mauve Mood” (the video of the first, “Cascading Keys” can be gripped here), which more than lives up to OESB's considerable pedigree, with Cohen fixing her gaze on buoyant, organic-sounding synth realness with vintage analogue equipment like the hand-operated LinnDrum machine. The track builds its groovy, New Pop slickness atop spectral vocals drawn from the 1940s-influenced disco of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band and perfectly shows off Cohen's all natural outsider weirdness.
