What did we listen to in April? Curated with the help of INmusic Festival (Croatia) and Botanique (Belgium), this Top 10 selection feels like spring: its vibes can be warm, but are also unpredictable, ever-changing.
If Verde Prato (Spain), Iva Lorens (Serbia), Postman (Ukraine), Astrid Sonne (Denmark), Bambie Thug (Ireland) and Coals (Poland) all add electronic touches to their songs, some take you to visit pop music’s sunny countryside when others draw their urban influences from the big rainy cities. And beware, as all of a sudden a storm breaks out, with Hammok (Norway) and MILANOSPORT (Italy) creating rock’n’roll lightings and Elliphant (Sweden) sounding like hip-hop thunder.
Hope you brought both your umbrella and your sunglasses: you’ll visit all of Europe’s landscapes with these ten new discoveries.
Verde Prato
“ How the mysterious basque forests would sound if the trees had synthesizers ”
Astrid Sonne
“ Elliptical, elusive and boundary-breaking experimental pop ”
Coals
“ Energetic abandon and melancholic swaying on the dance floor. ”
MILANOSPORT
“ A scuzzy, brutalist re-interpretation of punk, surf, rock, and indie ”
Elliphant
“ An assertive brand of off-balance hip hop and electro pop ”
