Calling all artists!
Ladyhawke, also known as Pip Brown, is releasing her new album Anxiety on May 28, 2012 and in celebration is inviting artists including photographers, sculptors and painters to collaborate with her. Ladyhawke, together with Sarah Larnach, the art director behind Ladyhawke’s elaborate album covers are calling out to creatives to submit a portrait of themselves, public figureheads or friends that tell a story of inner feelings. Twenty portraits will be selected and will each be reproduced on a 12″ vinyl slip cover and given to each of the twenty winners. Artists should take inspiration from the Anxiety album cover and from Ladyhawke and Sarah’s quotations when they are creating their artwork.
19 winners will receive a copy of their artwork which will be reproduced on a 12″ vinyl slip cover and will contain a signed copy of Anxiety. In addition, each winner will have their artwork featured across Ladyhawke and Island Record’s social media channels.
Three runners-up (as selected by Ladyhawke and Sarah Larnach) will have their artwork displayed and promoted on Ladyhawke’s social media channels.
The highest voted artist will receive a copy of their artwork which will be reproduced on a 12″ vinyl slip cover and will contain a signed copy of Anxiety. In addition, the highest voted will have their design promoted across Ladyhawke and Island Record’s social media channels.

Baby Daddy, Del Marquis, Ana Matronic and Jake Shears - aka - SCISSOR SISTERS!
Scissor Brothers and Scissor Sisters! Mark May 28, 2012 on your calendar because your world will never be the same again when Scissor Sisters 4th studio album “Magic Hour” will be released. Details are still under wraps, but what is known so far is that the album will feature guest appearances from Pharrell Williams, Calvin Harris, Diplo and Azealia Banks. Jake Shears has said in interviews that stylistically this record is all over the place, so excuse the pun, but if you don’t feel like dancin’, take your mama out and look for the invisible light! The next single “Only The Horses” will be out on May 20. The first single “Shady Love” is out now. Get yo’ Shady Love!
