University
of
Michigan

organization
NOiR
Runway

Fashion will be presenting their
18th annual runway show, NOiR
S/S 2017 this Saturday. The show
will feature clothing designed by
University of Michigan students,
styled by celebrity stylist Dutch
Davis, who has worked with the
likes of Nicki Minaj and Miley
Cyrus.

“The production is really that

of a professional runway show,”
said
NOiR
President
Alexis

Wilson, an LSA senior. “I can
promise it’s like nothing this
campus has seen. NOiR has made
it an effort to be innovate and
grow in everything we have done
throughout the year, so expect
the show to be the best yet.”

NOiR prides itself not only on

its fashion, but on its community
involvement. The organization

regularly
participates
in

community service initiatives,
especially
those
involving

minority
students.

Proceeds from this
year’s event will go
toward the Hip Hop
Sisters Network, a
nonprofit
founded

by
rapper
MC

Lyte
devoted

to
empowering

young
men
and

women to pursue
education
and

professionalism in
the
entertainment

industry.
NOiR’s

donations
will

be
specifically

allocated to fund one semester of
a minority male’s college tuition.

“We have worked really hard

on establishing ourselves as not
only a fashion organization, but
a service organization,” said
Alexa Abbott, NOiR Philanthropy
Director a Ross senior. “This year

we decided to be more intentional
with our service. We wanted to
make sure we had a local and

national impact.
Focusing
our

service
efforts

in the Southeast
Michigan
community and
our
monetary

efforts
on

a
national

scholarship
did

exactly that.”

Doors open to

the public at 6:30
PM, while VIPs
will be admitted
at 6:00. Though
VIP tickets are

sold
out,
general
admission

(which includes elevated seating)

‘Ursa Minor’ yet another
lowfi win for Nana Grizol

The indie band makes a successful return after seven years

Nana
Grizol,
after
seven

years of silence — in terms of
official releases — has returned
with its distinctly unrefined
brand of lo-fi indie folk rock
with an album that combines
the best aspects of its first two
efforts. The explosive energy of
Love It Love It meets the more
measured, pared back quality of
Ruth on Ursa Minor, delivering
a surplus of the both self- and
externally-aware
commentary

that we’ve come to expect from
the band. Both smart and casual,
a central aspect of Nana Grizol’s
identify remains the voice of
frontman Theo Hilton, which
never seems rushed, even over
the frantic horns that punctuate
the album.

Upon
listening
to
Nana

Grizol, your first thought may
be “Wait, is this Neutral Milk
Hotel?” You would be forgiven
for wondering. Nana Grizol
hails from Athens, Georgia, the
base of the storied Elephant Six
Recording Company (Neutral
Milk Hotel, The Olivia Tremor
Control, of Montreal). Although
they are signed to Orange Twin
— a label owned by members of
Nana Grizol and Elf Power —
the band has taken significant
cues from the Elephant Six since
their inception, and Neutral
Milk Hotel band-members Laura
Carter and Robbie Cucchiaro
are regular contributors. Nana
Grizol heavily echoes NMH in
terms of brass, but, while NMH
focuses on the otherworldly and
immaculately
strange,
Nana

Grizol is rooted in the moment
and,
more
importantly,
in

reality, actively deconstructing

the special meaning that we, as
humans, give to the meaningless.

“Today we explored the halls

of heroes past / All we found
inside were autographs / And
so I picked up one or two / But
I still can’t tell what they do / I
think I will return them in the
morning,” closes the opening
track of Ursa Minor, “Nightlights
I.” It would be easy to write off
Nana Grizol’s lyrical content as
far too similar to the pseudo-
intellectual musings of a John
Green character, but Hilton’s
intent is pure, not tainted by
commercialism;
he
simply

tells it how he
sees it, offering
his
stream-of-

consciousness
reflections
and

realizations
to

anyone who will
listen. The result
is
self-indulgent

at times, but ultimately so
completely human in nature that
it’s hard to blame him.

Regardless,
the
musical

content of the album should
be enough to keep any curious
listener coming back for more.
Like Ruth’s instrumental, “Alice
and
Gertrude,”
Ursa
Minor

features two short instrumentals
— “Ursa Minor I” and “Ursa
Minor
II”
—
pleasing-but-

hollow-sounding piano ballads
overscored by a longing oboe
melody. Though only just over
two minutes in combined length,
these tracks are important in
balancing the band’s otherwise
word-heavy approach. Rather
than rely on choruses to bolster
the lengths of their songs, Nana
Grizol, more often than not, goes
without them. Every song is a
densely packed, linear narrative.

Two of the most substantive

tracks on the album fall between
these instrumental interludes.
First, on “Explained Away,”
Hilton reflects on an idea akin to
the saying that “history is written
by the winners,” half-talking,
half-singing: “I thought of who it
is whose story gets remembered
in the end / And through how
many careful tellings does one
practice their defense / Some
nuances the narrator selectively
omits / A once collective memory
is destined to forget.” On the
immediately
following
“TV

Song,” largely about ‘fake news!!’
and highly partisan reporting,

he
leverages
an

attack
directly

at
the
current

administration:
“War machines and
power dreams and
racist, homophobic
schemes
/
can’t

orient
themselves

to give the people what they
need.”

Across its 34 minutes, the

album oscillates between these
sorts of macro issues and personal
hardship. Disillusionment with
not just government but human
society in general characterizes
“Mississippi
Swells,”
which

laments the grand disorganization
and indistinguishable nature of
large cities, while “Bright Cloud”
finds our narrator grappling
with a recent breakup, “Trying
to find thoughts to explain / The
significance of the newfound
solitude.” Characterized by a
general sense of melancholic
nostalgia, Ursa Minor is proof
that
even
over
time,
Nana

Grizol remains overwhelmingly
consistent in their delivery, the
sort of quietly humble underdog
that so obviously deserves more
attention than it has ever gotten.

STYLE NOTEBOOK
An Ode to the Rollerball

Want to know an un-fun

fact? Perfumes spoil in six to
18 months. And that’s if they’re
stored properly, and I’m going to
guess that they’re not. Because
who in the world stores their
perfume in a cool, dry place with
no sunlight, i.e. a closet? So in
all likelihood your scents will
wither away sooner.

I
have
an
embarrassing

confession: I have purchased
ungodly amounts of perfume
under the pretense of a truly
absurd fantasy. In my little
reverie, a male colleague will
find himself casually in close
proximity to the nape of my neck
— maybe it was purposeful, but
it probably was not. While there,
he will take note of my subtle
but sweet scent, a mental double
take will occur and suddenly
he will find me both alluring
and mysterious. Yes, I know,
it’s ridiculous, but it still fueled
many
purchases.
Yet
faced

with the reality of my rapidly
depreciating perfume, it was
suddenly much harder to justify
the purchase of a $100 perfume,
of which I will only use about 15
percent.

That being said, perfume

holds a certain romanticism that
extends past the desire to smell
good after skipping a shower,
and I was not quite ready to
let go. Thankfully there was a
solution, right underneath my
nose: the rollerball.

Perfumes
are
really

expensive, rollerballs not so
much. Forking over $75-100 for
a bottle smaller than your hand
is not the most fun. And, as
previously established, the bulk
of that money will go to waste,
which makes the purchase all

the more painful. Rollerballs are
much more moderately priced
(roughly $15-35) and you can
smell exactly the same without
having to rationalize spending
a ton.

What’s more, rollerballs are

incredibly
convenient.
Just

throw ’em in your bag, your
pencil case, or even your pocket.
Their teeny travel-sized state
means you can have them with
you at all times.

This is majorly convenient

because
you
don’t
have
to

overdose on your scent. Perhaps
I am just incompetent, but I have
yet to master the right amount
to spray on in the morning.
In an attempt to survive the
whole day smelling pleasantly,
I cloak myself in a true cloud
of perfume. I leave the house
with near eye-watering levels of
scent. My apologies to anyone
who has gagged in the presence
my borderline-toxic level of
fragrance. Oof, I cringe at the
memory. Thankfully, this is an
issue you can completely sidestep
with the good ’ole rollerball. With
a rollerball, just apply a moderate
amount and touch up throughout
the day. You’ll be riding a scent
nirvana the whole day.

Buy a rollerball, thank me

later.
