Wye Oak, Brooklyn Vegan at Red 7, SXSW, Saturday 15 March 2015

This synth-playing duo gave us sweet vocals and lush keyboard tones, and created a sonic landscape halfway between Chvrches and the XX. Their songs also featured some punchy basslines, bringing to mind the British New Romantics.

The singer's voice had hints of Kirsty MacColl or the Sundays' Harriet Wheeler. She engaged well with the crowd, commenting that playing live was a good crowd sourcing opportunity when the audience put their phones in the air to film a song they liked.
