Cool or Not with Jonathan Bree
“Let’s take some pictures upstairs!” Jonathan Bree
What better way to hit it off with someone who you’re pretty sure can’t see you or the place you are taking him because of the mask he’s wearing?
Jonathan Bree is a charismatic and mysterious musician from New Zealand and we had the pleasure to meet him before the concert, take a few pictures and ask him to clear some things up for us. Inspired by the first single “You’re So Cool” from his latest album “Sleepwalking”, we thought he is the one to say what’s cool or not.
Being the kind of artist that pays a lot of attention to his stage look and performance, Jonathan Bree mesmerized the audience from the minute he appeared in front of it. It really takes you a second to process what you are seeing and figure out your feelings. And since you’re there, you will find yourself trapped in a British sci-fi movie from the ‘60s. This decade is revealed in his performance and also sets the mood for the sound and visual aesthetic of “Sleepwalking”.
Let us proceed
Spandex: cool
Cigarettes: they’re lit
Dinner parties: can be cool
Spanking: ditto
Rainbows: double or nothing
Glitter: divisive
Britney Spears: cool
Film photography: cool
Autographs: not divisive
A good night’s sleep: very cool
Staying in rather than going out: cool
Hobbits: meh
Craft beer: meh
Daddy issues: umm
Bubble baths: very cool
