Chrome Daydream
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
The notebook changes its cover every month. Each one takes its cues from a different corner of music, paper and internet culture. Explore the collection below.
Haunted Notebook is here through November 1. Coffee Shop Confessional takes over November 2.
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
Cassette ribbons, red-pen hearts and pink paper. For anyone who ever put too much thought into a mixtape.
Vines wind around the speakers and flowers take over the margins. Spring gets the volume knob.
Pixel ghosts, cherries and electric blue meet the notebook doodles. A little arcade cabinet in the margins.
The pink splashes, coffee ring and black doodles that started it, with the volume turned up. The notebook's home colours.
Peel-and-stick chaos: skulls, butterflies, hearts and neon lightning. Think of the back of your favourite battered laptop.
Torn tickets, halftone fragments and bright scraps. A cover that borrows the rough edges of a wall full of gig flyers.
Black ink, torn paper and acid-yellow sparks. A love letter to photocopied zines and the flyers you kept after the show.
Stars, speakers, tape and every loud colour at once. Back-to-school stationery with absolutely no restraint.
Moths, little ghosts and crimson ink creep through the black flourishes. The notebook has a late-night alter ego.
Coffee rings, headphones and warm paper. A cover for the long walk home and the track you play again when you get there.
Moons, moths and constellations spill across midnight-blue ink. The margins drift into space; the music keeps going.

A guy who got fired because his president started a trade war, walking into a booth with nothing left to lose. Trump promised tariffs would bring manufacturing back. Instead, they closed a plant that was already here. The parts that factory needed got more expensive overnight, the math stopped working, and management shut it down. Two hundred families in Michigan...

Support the troops. Specifically, the troop who sold this bolt. Shopping cart in a military hangar. One bolt inside. $900,000 on the price tag. The bolt is maybe two inches long. The tag is the size of a luggage label. Fighter jets parked behind him like set dressing for a purchase nobody will audit. The man in the suit is pushing the cart with the self-assurance of someone whose expense reports have never once been questioned. Nobody in this building will be asked to justify the number on that tag. The jets cost more than the town they’re supposed to...
