Great shot.

PHANTOGRAM • TUMBLR IRL 

Phantogram have released their third album. It’s called, Three. 

With songs that explore how we may find calm amongst chaos, the duo have aptly selected Ben Zank to collaborate on a special Tumblr IRL. As you listen to the album, scroll through the photography, which will be rolling out all week right here. 

Oh, and there’s a whole thing in Boulder too, thanks to our friends at Ice Breakers Mints. The band have planned a super intimate, one-of-a-kind performance to pair with the visuals that Ben created. 

Our first Tumblr IRL to hit the Mountain Time Zone, and we’re damn proud of it.

That would be a good place to start over.

Robert Frost - October O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go. O hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow. Make the day seem to us less brief. Hearts not averse to being beguiled, Beguile us in the way you know. Release one leaf at break of day; At noon release another leaf; One from our trees, one far away. Retard the sun with gentle mist; Enchant the land with amethyst. Slow, slow! For the grapes’ sake, if they were all, Whose leaves already are burnt with frost, Whose clustered fruit must else be lost— For the grapes’ sake along the wall.

Winter is coming. With it comes the chance of catching a cold, or worse. Here’s how to make your own “Forest Honey” that tastes great and is full of Vitamin C! 🤒🌲🍯🍵

About Pine Needles: • Large amount of essential oils • Strongly antibacterial • Used to treat many respiratory infections - common cold, flu, asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia. • Smells like Christmas 🎄 • Pine needles are high in vitamins A and C. Fresh green pine needles have FIVE times the amount of vitamin C found in one lemon! 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋=🌲

How to Make Forest Honey:

1. Gather a bunch of young, new growth pine needles. Small trees are best. 2. Rinse needles in water. Discard any brown, dead needles. 3. Bruise the needles all over to break up the fibers and release the essential oils. This can be done by twisting the needles in your hands repeatedly, or rolling a heavy stone on the needles, or lightly hammering them with a meat mallet. You could also cut the needles in half with kitchen scissors or a knife for easier handling. 4. Put the pine needles in a pot with enough water to cover the needles well. 5. Bring the pine needles and water to a rolling boil, then lower the heat to med/low and partly cover, letting it condense. 6. After about an hour, keep the water but strain out the pine needles, returning the remaining pine needle tea water to the boiling pot. 7. Bring to a boil again, then simmer, and add honey or sugar to taste, stirring frequently. I use about ½ cup of honey. Once it has condensed more and gains a syrup-like consistency, turn off the heat, let it cool, and store it in a jar or honey pot in a cool spot.

You could also do the Cold Process. Fill a large mason jar with several layers of equal parts honey, water, and pine needles with the cover on. Set the jar in a sunny spot for about 40 days, then strain into another jar with a cheesecloth for best nutritional quality.

Great with pancakes, toast, iced tea, biscuits, or eating a spoonful by itself! 🌲🌲🌲🍯
