Existing almost by accident (singer Nicole Miglis claims “We were just sort of making our own music individually and unexpectedly started making songs together”) and initially creating music without the intention of really doing anything with it, everything about Hundred Waters feels organic and real. After putting up their eponymous debut LP through small Gainesville label Elestial Sound, Skrillex signed the band to his own imprint, OWSLA – eventually giving the record a re-release and earning it the wider audience that its ethereal brilliance deserved. Hundred waters influences number is the thousands (with Bjork perhaps the most often referenced touchstone by critics), but combine to make a sound both coherent and profound – something which translates to their live sets. Their latest LP, The Moon Rang Like A Bell, shows refines and builds upon the unique soundscapes crafted in their debut.
