Danny Sangra – New t-shirts for KOIBIRD
Koibird songs
The launch of Danny’s four limited edition t-shirts for womenswear brand KOIBIRD took place at their store in Marylebone earlier this week. As guests wandered Danny’s installation and perused the t-shirts, the soundtrack was a playlist specially chosen by Danny for the night.
Now, you can tell a lot about a person by the music they favour, so we decided it might be interesting to see Danny’s playlist. But rather than just a list of tracks, we decided to take our lead from old school music paper NME’s glory years. There’s a story that a snarky NME journo once reviewed Lee Hazlewood’s album ‘Poet, Fool or Bum’ with the one-word review/answer ‘Bum.’ (Lee remained furious about this slur to his dying day). So, in that tradition, here are Danny’s playlist choices accompanied by our own one-word reviews:
