Let’s continue our European journey with the second Top 10 of the season, starting in Ireland with our Band Of The Month, Just Mustard, and its electronic-infused shoegaze rock. When heavily transformed guitars, eerie voices, deep bass and big trip-hop drums come together in a stoner storm. But let’s also head North, on the shores of Arny Margret’s island, her folk music being completely intertwined with Iceland’s majestic landscapes and unpredictable weather. Let’s also run to Austria with the electric and all-female garage-rock band DIVES, or fly with the french pop acrobat Aloïse Sauvage, or dance with the warm hip-hop of Belgian duo blackwave. And let’s travel even more to hear the electro-rock anthems from the Bulgarian band Hayes & Y, the electronic experiences of Berlin-based Perera Elsewhere, the blend of pop and jazz of Surma from Portugal, the tropical blizzard from Finnish afrobeat project Maajo or the well-named pop rock feel-good tablet Love’n’Joy. Is your passport ready ?
