SEOUL

The Montreal indie-pop trio ‘Seoul’ has released their full-length album titled ‘I Became A Shade’ via Grand Jury after crafting the sounds for 2+ years. 

The tracks move from a floaty headspace vibe (’White Morning’) then jump seamlessly up to a synch-pop jam (’The Line’). The transitions are so effortless, you won’t stop to think, you’re simply along for the beautiful ride.

BASECAMP

Listen to any one of the five entrancing tracks on Basecamp’s new EP, ‘Greater Than,’ and this Nashville-based trio will be immediately on your radar.

Their self-titled debut EP was also great, followed up by a few head-turning remixes which I heard about a year ago; but it wasn’t until I heard their track ‘Watch My Back’ on Kitusuné America 4 that I sensed so much more. 

‘Greater Than,’ released via OWSLA, a label Skrillex co-owns, feeds you beats that are ambient but definitely hip-hop infused. The smooth, sexy vocals leave you wanting so much more when each track ends.  

Feast your ears.

HUNTAR

HUNTAR

The ultra-mysterious 22 yr old HUNTAR is another one to watch out of Peckham, Southeast London where there must be something in the water - see Deptford Goth

I can’t tell you much about HUNTAR, I can’t even track down his real name. But I’m confident of one thing; HUNTAR’s electro-alt-pop yet soulful R&B infused sounds will be making big waves in 2016.

Oh Wonder

Oh Wonder

And I wonder.

How did I not find Oh Wonder sooner?

This dreamy London duo has quickly become my new obsession after discovering them on HillyDilly. I first heard their debut track All We Do and have since been eagerly awaiting each new release. Their airy yet tight dreampop sound is sure to keep your finger on the replay button. 

They've vowed to release one new song every month for the next year, and rumors are sprouting for a Fall 2015 album release.
