Our West Coast Cut Crew Reps Emma Allison and Makenzie Lynd came all the way from Santa Barbara to donate some sun to the cold coast. Their first adventure in Brooklyn brought them to Williamsburg’s Nita Nita and the exclusive filming of British music maker Neil Halstead’s (of Slowdive and Mojave 3) music video “Elevenses.” A big thanks to Chris Piazza of Jigsaw Soul for hooking it up.
Cut Crew East: How’s New York treating you?
Emma Allison: There’s no beach around and that’s weird. But I love it. I like the city and change of pace. It’s refreshing. – culture shock is refreshing, anything new is refreshing. It’s a bit nipply but I like it here.
CCE: Rub it in. Brooklyn can be a scary place for new comers. How has it been treating you?
Makenzie Lynd: I feel like it’s more like we’re living here than visiting. We are doing every day sort of stuff. We’re living the Brooklyn life.
CCE: How do you feel about tattoos?
EA: I like them. They are hot.
CCE: So how was the video shoot today with Neil Halstead?
ML: Everyone was really welcoming and really nice. They wanted to get to know us.
EA: It was set in a cute garden, pretty windy. I like how it was supposed to be set in the summer and it was freezing out.
CCE: How was the music?
EA: I loved it. I know every word now.
ML: It was my first time hearing it and now I’m sick of it. But the music was relaxing.
