Jack Garratt
voted best new sound for 2016 by the BBC, jack garratt has exploded on the indie-electro music scene with his experimental songwriting and soulful voice laid over fiercely alive beats. seeing his impassioned performances is one of the most captivating shows i’ve seen this year, by far.

Lucy Dacus
this unapologetic talent out of Richmond, Virginia is exactly what you need in your ears this summer. she puts brings a freshness to the (at times) stagnant indie folk scene with direct, brave lyrics á la courtney barnett, but with quite a bit more soul.
get lost in her album here, and if you missed her at rough trade last week, see her somewhere along the east coast this summer.
Benjamin Clementine
raw and avant garde, benjamin clementine‘s haunting voice and poetic words dance upon his relentlessly passionate piano playing with an unpredictable rhythm that keeps you longing, somewhat warily, of what and how it will hit you next.
if you missed him last week at irving plaza…cry, a bit. he’ll be back in new york until next year, and until then, let’s all go to europe.
