Self described as “sexistential slow-boy dream-funk”, the Liverpudlian based artist creates playful, lo-fi R&B-tinged slacker pop and isn’t afraid to explore life’s existential dilemmas as well as sexual impulses in his lyrics; channeling his Beat poetry influences, but in a sexy way.
Evocative of bands like Massive Attack and Moby, the London group deliver “dark euphoria” in atmospheric soundscapes created with trip hop and electronic stylings. They tour in support of second album Any Random Kindness.
Hailing from Toronto, the band create experimental electronics with punchy, rhythmic instrumentals and club-ready synths that blend together elements of krautrock and punk; creating an electrifying sound. They’re due to release new album Deleter early next year.
Having spent nearly 20 years making synth pop that travels between dance floor-ready and tender ballads along with producing eclectic records that are performed at ever-entertaining live shows, the band tour in support of seventh release A Bath Full of Ecstasy.
Formerly of WU LYF but with a contrasting style, Francis Lung’s sound blends lo-fi jangly pop with breezy harmonies on his debut album A Dream Is U.
The Hull quartet make abrasive punk music that dissect and lay bare our sociopolitical climate. They tour in support of new release A Picture of Good Health.
