SXSW 2018 2018-03-13

Jay Prince London UK ENGLAND

4.00 3.00 Progressive Hip-hop / R&B out of London

Noah Slee Auckland NEW ZEALAND

4.00 3.65 Electronic R&B with a falsetto male vocal. He shifts between danceable beats and quiet moments filled with emotion.

Khalid El Paso TX

4.00 0.00 This guy has some pretty soulful vocals and is making some pretty sexy R&B with them.

Golden Dawn Arkestra Austin TX

4.00 0.00 Big and boisterous, these guys bring the strangeness with their mix of 60's hippy culture and the theme to a 70's police drama. It would be hard to sit still at this.

Young Jesus Los Angeles, CA

4.00 0.00 Oft-restrained but emotionally intense indie rockers with quiet introspective lyrics punctuated by more aggressive moments of volume.

Benin City London UK-ENGLAND

4.00 0.00 If you made a Venn diagram of all the Massive Attack and Bloc Party albums you’d end up with this band.

Flyte London UK-ENGLAND

4.00 0.00 English poppy indie rock outfit who aren’t afraid of a ballad. The vocals are crisp and bright and the backing is guitar-driven. Like a less experimental Shins.

Gaz Coombes Oxford UK-ENGLAND

4.00 0.00 Ambitious indie rock from the lead singer of Supergrass (remember Supergrass??). Some songs seem fairly mellow-psychedelic and others are bombastic rock journeys.

Breaking Forms Boston MA

4.00 0.00 Indie synth pop duo with female vocals

CIFIKA Seoul, SOUTH KOREA

4.00 0.00 Korean Electronic indie rock dance music with female vocals
