Oh No Ono

Oh No Ono is an experimental pop quintet from the tiny Danish town of Aalborg. Their music, intricate and otherworldly, defies conventions and expectations (and sometimes gravity). The ten dense, hypertextured sour-sweet-sad opuses found on their US debut album, Eggs, are truly breathtaking to behold; the band creates bewitching pop symphonies that unfold themselves more with each successive listen.

The Vanguards

Within months of forming The Vanguards found themselves recording in The Charlatans studio with legendary production duo Dave Tolan and Jim Spencer (Primal Scream, The Charlatans) – the result is ‘Regress’ – a gritty blast of raw energy blended with a genuine pop melody, it’s a rock/pop hit in the making.

Lana Del Rey

She's Lizzy Grant – a.k.a. Lana Del Rey. The 24-year-old New York native may be a relative unknown who is yet to officially release any music but such is the emotional resonance of her velvety, dulcet tones we reckon you’ll be hearing much more from her in the months and years to come. Born in the rural town of Lake Placid in New York State, Lana spent her formative years moving between Alabama, New Jersey and New York City before more recently relocating to London.

Craft Spells

Californian local Justin Vallesteros, better known as indie-pop band Craft Spells, convey a special something in their forthcoming album “Idle Labor”. Originating in a private space at home, Justin’s melodies are infectious, sometimes even haunting. A zeitgeist for the dreamers, his whimsical yet somehow strong voice beautifully captures and communicates a mysterious kind of emotion, gently swaying the listener into an unknown place.
