In her 2009 short story collection, writer Lydia Davis creates worlds in tiny spaces, some totaling only two sentences. Steering away from the rigidity of what a piece of art is meant to look like, Christchurch, New Zealand-based artist Lukas Mayo (they/them) took inspiration from Davis, and others, to find the magic in the mundane. Art is everywhere: in the shape we make out of a napkin while waiting for our coffee to arrive, in the text we send to a friend in need, in the beat we make on the steering wheel while stuck at a red light. As Pickle Darling, Mayo points past perfectionism, and leans into the art of the everyday, where these ever-evolving forms of creativity find their home in new album Laundromat. Their previous albums Bigness (2019) and Cosmonaut (2021) elevated their lo-fi indie pop with a rounded-out, cleaner sound, garnering acclaim in their ability to zoom in on the universality of existential thought with an earnest yet playful approach. The reaction to the releases, and an extensive touring schedule, brought with them a kind of expectation-one that Mayo says began to wear on them. "I felt that I couldn't just follow my instincts anymore," they say. "I wanted to return to how I made music right at the very start." Those instincts flourish throughout Laundromat, where the immediacy of Mayo's creative aptitude permeates. Here, Pickle Darling slots into the silhouettes of the ordinary and stretches them onto an entirely new canvas. Laundromat was created in what Mayo describes as their first stable living situation, away from difficult flat mates, tense surroundings, and abysmal landlords. As an artist who writes, records, and produces all of their music at home, the security of their current place allowed their ideas to blossom. Writing soon became a daily practice, and rather than laboring over each song like they had previously-some songs on previous records were months and months in the making-Mayo found themselves drawn to the spark of what had created the initial idea in the first place. "For it to be a daily practice I have to focus on what it is that I enjoy about it," they say. "I became really excited to make music for myself again-to just enjoy making music again." Mayo highlights folk artists Connie Converse, Bill Fay, and Vashti Bunyan as passengers in the process of Laundromat; artists who put music into the world then disappeared from the public eye. "I wanted to capture the feeling of making music that's out of step with everything around it," they explain. "I wanted it to be a lot more immediate." Mayo recorded a lot of Laundromat's ideas onto their phone, giving themselves permission to allow those ideas to be the entire song. The enforced length of what a song should be-a neat, 3-minute sellable product-has always bothered Mayo, and while some of the songs on Laundromat do fit around that particular mold, Pickle Darling says the smaller pockets on the album were them striving to create their "own kind of normal." This new-found normalcy developed after Mayo immersed themselves in William Morris' book News from Nowhere, inspiring them to merge art and daily life. "I was thinking a lot about music and art in the same way as doing your chores," they say. Everyday life sprinkles itself throughout Laundromat, where Mayo threads together voicemails from their close friends Bedbug ("Kinds Of Love") and Tony Stamp ("More Kinds Of Love"), with familial difficulties, intrusive swirling thoughts and falling down a digital rabbit hole. Gorgeously luminous opener "Early Geometry" highlights Pickle Darling's delicate finger plucking alongside their ability to capture a moment, one that others might forget in an instant. Like a photograph tucked away in a bedside table drawer, we can feel it's presence and how it strangely seems to look different every time we take it out. Later on, "King Of Joy" Mayo bends their sweet electronica to a rewound introduction, crafting a kind of nostalgia for a place that only exists in our periphery. "Invercargill Angel" opens up this periphery to a broader landscape, as distant laughter and simple strums creates an exhale, as Mayo repeats "I hope he makes you feel at home" like a rolling, effervescent mantra. Laundromat is Pickle Darling creating their own tiny worlds, but ones that are large enough to welcome anyone who might need them. It's a reminder that we can escape into art at any given moment, and how those moments might help us onto the next. Whether it's the swirling kaleidoscope of a washing machine on spin, or the melody of your friend's voice, Laundromat places a frame around the beautiful nothing, sculpting these moments into something tangible and noteworthy.

A Must Have For Your Summer Beach Bag!!
Style: SPF 30, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I recently purchased the Sun Bum Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Stick, and I am thrilled with its performance. This sunscreen stick has become an essential part of my beach routine, and I couldn't be happier with the results. One of the standout features of this product is its convenience. The stick format makes it incredibly easy to apply the sunscreen evenly to my face. I love how smoothly it glides on, leaving no white residue or greasy feeling behind. It's compact and fits perfectly in my bag, so I can carry it with me wherever I go. The level of sun protection provided by this sunscreen is fantastic. With SPF 30, I feel confident that my skin is well shielded from harmful UV rays. Whether I'm spending a day at the beach or just running errands around town, I know that my face is protected from the sun's damaging effects. Another great aspect of this sunscreen is its formula. It's lightweight and non-greasy, which is perfect for my combination skin. Unlike some other sunscreens I've tried, this one doesn't clog my pores or cause breakouts. It feels comfortable on my skin throughout the day and doesn't interfere with my makeup application. The Sun Bum Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Stick also has a pleasant scent that reminds me of summer. It's not overpowering or artificial, which is a big plus for me. I appreciate the attention to detail in creating a sunscreen that not only performs well but also provides a pleasant user experience. Overall, I highly recommend the Sun Bum Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Stick to anyone in need of a reliable and convenient sunscreen for their face. It offers excellent sun protection, has a lightweight and non-greasy formula, and is incredibly easy to apply. With this product, I can enjoy my time in the sun without worrying about my skin's well-being.

Beach bag staple
Style: SPF 30, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve used Sun Bum for years and always come back to it. SPF 30 is perfect for everyday beach and pool days, and it gives solid protection without feeling heavy. It goes on smooth, doesn’t feel greasy, and doesn’t leave me looking ghostly. The smell is classic Sun Bum summer vibes and not overpowering. I’ve worn this in full sun and never had issues with burning when I reapply. Easy to rub in and comfortable to wear all day. Would absolutely repurchase.

The smell of summer
Style: SPF 30, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this lotion and its smell! Offers both protection and hydration and is my go to sunscreen for tanning / laying around. It'd definitely not my sunscreen for running / workouts / etc. because it doesn't feel like it hold up great to sweat.
