This guy is crazy talented. I saw him a few years back and was recently reminded of just how good he is. I saw someone refer to him as "a genre-shifting artist and entertainer" who dabbles in "improvisational electronic" (with a whole lot of funk thrown in). He's an incredible DJ who plays big gigs, city sidewalks, and restaurants. The lyrics are definitely NSFW, but he comes up with stuff on the spot. You have to check him out. See below. I remember her as the cute little ukulele-playing girl who won America's Got Talent. I saw that she's got a new movie on Disney+... which actually looks good (Hollywood Stargirl; a sequel, I think). Anyway... I checked out her Instagram and... damn. I forgot how good a singer she is. Such a beautiful voice. She's Norwegian singer-songwriter Marie Ulven... and she's incredible. I'll post a couple of my favorite tracks, but here's my Spotify playlist devoted to her. One of my favorite bands. Their sound is described as "Experimental Pop" and it's certainly a blend of genres. There's a definite Pet Sounds influence. In fact, someone once described it as a "drunken, coked-out Brian Wilson"... and I'd agree. Love this guy’s sound. A synth pop Ian Curtis. Definitely cinematic. Not many people know about this guy... which is a shame. His sound is similar to a Bon Iver. Anyway... here are some of my favorite tracks. |
