FLYING LOTUS is a legendary electronic music producer, curator of LA's BRAINFEEDER label, and shining star of LA beat music night LOW END THEORY.
ABE VIGODA
"Where [debut album] Skeleton solidified their rep as 'tropical-punk' workaholics, spitting out blasts of chiming guitar and gnarled beats, [new album] Crush indulges their love of goth and coldwave, with synths often louder than guitars...evoking the drama of Psychedelic Furs or Echo and the Bunnymen. The music is hard-wired and overflowing with activity, even in the record's sparsest moments. Abe Vigoda's trademark is tightly-wound songs that spill into chaos, and that's here in spades."
- Pitchfork
PURO INSTINCT
"Puro Instinct are LA-based sisters Piper and Skylar Kaplan [formerly called] Pearl Harbor. Their debut album, the excellently titled Headbangers in Ecstasy [features the] sisters' gorgeous harmonies, cascading synths and keyboard riffs."
- The Guardian
JULIANNA BARWICK
" There's euphoric joy in [her] slow-building choral pieces that celebrates the human voice with humility. The title track, in particular, ever-so-slightly shifts her vocal loops like translucent puzzle pieces. You only realize its repetitive simplicity when Barwick takes everything away and lets silence sing more than we ever thought it could."
- NPR
DELICATE STEVE from New Jersey recently played several showcases at SXSW and has garnered a buzz within music blogs and critics alike.
