Interstellar

on Earth by epidemic crop failures.
FIVE FACTS:

Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Michael
Caine.
2. The film was inspired by the work of
Caltech theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, who
also served as an executive producer and
scientific consultant.
3. Cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema shot
the film on anamorphic 35mm and IMAX
70mm photography.
4. Filming took place from late 2013 in
Alberta, Iceland and Los Angeles.
5. The movie won the Oscar for Best Visual
Effects at the 87th Academy Awards.

Kintsugi
Death Cab for Cutie
Kintsugi - the eighth studio album of the indie
rock band, and its first since 2011 - may be
the last to feature lead guitarist and founding
member Chris Walla, but theres still plenty
more of interest here, not least the work of
Wallas replacement on production duties,
Rich Costey. Indeed, it is the groups first
album to feature an outside producer.
Genre: Alternative
Released: Mar 27, 2015
11 Songs
Price: $10.99
173 Ratings
FIVE FACTS:
1. The albums title refers to the Japanese
art of kintsugi, which involves the fixing of
broken pottery and treats breakage and
repair as part of an objects history, rather
than something to disguise.
2. It is the follow-up to 2011s Codes and
Keys.
3. The band was formed in Bellingham,
Washington in 1997.
4. The group presently comprises vocalist,
guitarist and pianist Ben Gibbard, bassist
Nick Harmer and drummer Jason McGerr.
5. Death Cab for Cutie is associated with the
indie rock, indie pop, emo and alternative
rock genres.
