Mini Compo: The Past’s Future Dance Punk
LapSap’s and Twilight Actiongirl’s DJ Xu couldn’t be more different than the much less recognised Jit Woei of Nightlife Camera and The Beads fame. For one the respective genres they represent on their own are so disparate that when compared they are not just apples and oranges, they’re algae and cardboard boxes.
Petite Noir: New Wave Goth by Way of World Music
Cape Town’s Yannick Iluga, better known by his stage name Petite Noir, is the perfect candidate to subvert your myopic view of what sort of music could come out from South Africa.
VMPRMYTH: Everlasting Beat
While lacking in vowels, VMPRMYTH doesn’t in talent. He is one DJ-producer to watch out for.
Passion Pit: Gossamer
Passion Pit’s follow-up to debut Manners is the band going bigger, more self-indulgent, but this only serves frontman Michael Angelakos’ pop acumen better.
Citizens of Ice-Cream: Days of Bays
Whether intentional or not, CoIC’s childlike (and we don’t mean childish) approach to writing their music gives the instrumental band their charm. There are no pretentious efforts or need for a goreng moment to prove their skills on their respective instruments.
Purity Ring: Shrines
Find Cronenbergian body horror hidden underneath Purity Ring’s earthy vocals, Southern rap-influenced beats, and Dilla-esque synths.
Eternal Summers: Correct Behavior
Eternal Summers corrected their behaviour with latest LP and succeeded.
Sharliza Jelita: Manic Pixie Dream Songstress
UK-based Singaporean songstress Sharliza Jelita is quirkier than Zooey Deschanel tripping on peyote. Yet we can’t help but be enthralled by her; there’s electricity in not just her genre of choice, but also her eccentricity.
Dirty Projectors: Swing Lo Magellan
Dirty Projectors’ previous album Bitte Orca, saw a trio of female vocalists added to the band whose vocals helped propel the band to accessibility with their poppy choruses. Latest LP Swing Lo Magellanamplifies that formula, the pop hooks and danceable arrangements are more apparent than ever now.
Goldfish & Blink: Self-Titled
Goldfish & Blink’s self-titled debut is set to make them our very own EDM superstars, if they aren’t already.
