Music

Naïms languid physicality seems to echo the syrupy essence of her melodic affect, as we are mesmerized by her gracious sound and form.

Explores the cold, harsh side of winter, and the salvation to be found in the warmth of a romantic connection.

Matches a rare sense of tenderness with the creative power of loneliness, by suspending gloomy poetics over a seething Morris-style drum pocket and heavy guitars.

Combines references to popular music with a west-coast lifestyle, a weakness for mind-altering substances, and the glorious impatience of youth.

A rugged electronic pulse shines through the dreamy hooks, as Steph Wells salvages a vibrant catharsis from the wreckage of lost love.

Combines dark lyrics, an uplifting groove, and an infectious sense of creativity with a production style that splits the difference between salsa and hip hop.

A quintessentially-modern elevation of casual sexuality and personal mystery into a masterpiece of intriguing chamber pop.

Explores the juxtaposition of heartbreak with a search for deliverance, and lays down a groove that borrows equally from Shallou and Wingtip.
