Tall Ships
(UK)

Maravilloso indie inteligente y épico, creado en el lugar donde se encuentran el rock matemático de Battles y el pop de radiofórmula de Coldplay. Melodías geniales, letras ingeniosas y riffs enormes. La calma, el subidón y la tormenta. Excepcional.
Para fans de Battles, Arcade Fire y Foals.

Wonderful indie, intelligent and epic, created in the place where the mathematical rock of Battles meets the FMainstream pop of Coldplay. Great melodies, witty lyrics and great riffs. The calm, the rush and the storm. Exceptional.

Bastille

Masivo pero con integridad, esto es un inventivo pop contemporáneo de absorbentes melodíasmantra, ritmos quebrados, estructuras alteradas, voces reconfortantes y honestidad lírica. Hecho en un dormitorio con ambiciones de estadio.
Para fans de FUN., Coldplay y Friendly Fires.

Massive but with integrity, this is an inventive contemporary pop with absorbent mantra-melodies, broken rhythms, altered structures, soothing voices and lyrical honesty. Made in a bedroom with stadium ambitions.
For fans of FUN., Coldplay and Friendly Fires.

Stubborn Heart
(UK)

Sensibilidad soul y postdubstep. Pianos house, voces sentidas, ritmos mutantes y percusiones esotéricas. Así es como tenía que haber sido el segundo disco de The XX.
Para fans de Burial, Massive Attack y los dos últimos discos de Radiohead.

Soul and post-dubstep sensibility. House pianos, heartfelt voices, mutant rythms and esoteric drums. This is how the XX’s second album should have been sounded.
For fans of Burial, Massive Attack and the last two Radiohead albums.

BIGkids
(UK)

Esto es tan optimista, contagioso y vibrante que parece de coña. Pero no lo es. Samples y saxofones, duetos chico y chica, música soul moderna, pegadiza y sin complejos, infecciosa e irónica. Como cuando escuchaste la primera vez a Lily Allen y pensaste: “esta chavala o es tonta o es una genia”.
Para fans de La alegría y el amor. Chase & Status, Kate Nash y Lily Allen.

This is so optimistic, contagious and vibrant that it seems to be a joke. But it is not. Samples and saxophones, boy and girl duets, modern soul music, catchy and unashamedly infectious and ironic. Like when you listened for the first time Lily Allen and thought “this girl is either stupid or a genius.”
For fans of Happiness and love, Chase & Status, Kate Nash and Lily Allen.

Patterns

Shoegaze hermoso de acordes mayores y piruetas vocales, globos subiendo al cielo y un abrazo de noise. Música celestial, texturada y accesible.
Para fans de Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Beach House y Engineers.

Beautiful shoegaze with major chords and vocal pirouettes, balloons rising into the sky and a hug of noise. Heavenly music, textured and accessible.

San Cisco
(AUS)

Ingenuo indie-rock burbujeante, duetos chico-chica, pa-ra-ra-pa-pás, un pellizco del afropop de Vampire weekend y guitarras chisposas. Capaces de meter la patita en las radios del mundo a base de encanto.
Para fans de Two Door Cinema Club, The Wombats, Of Monsters and Men y Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

Naive bubbly indie-rock, boy-girl duets, pa-ra-ra-pa-pas, a pinch of the afropop of Vampire Weekend and sparkling guitars. Their charm will get them in the radios of the world.
