Laura Marling

Laura Marling (born 1st February 1990) is an indie folk star in the ascendance whose striking melodies and wise-beyond-her-years vocals could melt even the iciest of hearts, mixing the strength of Regina Spektor with the intelligence of Carole King and the acoustic lushness of Joni Mitchell. The 19-year-old small town girl - Eversley, United Kingdom just outside of Reading to be exact - sings about love, lust and romance, the futility of religion, self-loathing and human psychology. Each one of her songs is a mini-blast of prime poetry, gorgeous melody and sublime songwomanship.

Milo Greene

Derek R. Santos is an enigma. There's really no way to describe him other than to say, "Meow."
At a young age, he knew he was destined for greatness, and a life much more eventful than the dull one he was experiencing in Bristol, Rhode Island. Among the countless lawn ornaments, and Portuguese ghetto/goths that inhabited his hometown, he made a name for himself as an indie-folk genious. Derek, who has been known as "Milo Greene", "My Work with Snow", and most currently "Tests", changes his music styles even more often as his name...
