NME Radar: Local Natives, Yes Giantess @ Koko, Oct 13th.
Posted by: nick
What? NME Radar presents: Golden Silvers, Marina & The Diamonds, Local Natives, Yes Giantess. This is one hell of a line-up people. Local Natives are the pick from a tough bunch. We saw them recently supporting Of Montreal and their baroque pop harmonies and tribal rhythms kicked ass. Big time. ON SALE FRI 17th JULY 9AM
For Fans Of: Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes, The Shins.
Yes Giantess are another new one to get excited about. From Boston, they make exquisite synth-laden dream pop. They’ve recently released their ‘Tuff n Tuff/You Were Young” split 7? through the impressive Neon Gold Label. It was produced by Passion Pit’s own Ayad Al-Adhamy at his Bo Flex Music studio and it’s pretty darn hot!
For Fans Of: Passion Pit, Ratatat, Daft Punk.
Golden Silvers are more of a familiar name. A wonky pop three piece from London fronted by the part Blur (who they recently supported in Hyde Park) part Morrisey voiced Gwilym Gold.
For Fans Of: Blur, Morrissey, Esser.
Marina & The Diamonds is from London via Wales. She has one hell of a set of lungs and a love for quirky pop. Another rising star one would suspect.
For Fans Of: Kate Bush, Florence & The Machine, Cyndi Lauper.
