Analog Society is a Timeless Pop band from London, reinventing the best of 60s and 70s music by blending catchy melodies and anthemic choruses with sophisticated arrangements. Their sound bursts with soulful vocals, funky riffs, and Motown-style horns, creating a fresh take on classic influences.

Clara Thadea is about the most independent an independent artist can get. She writes, plays, produces, mixes and masters everything by herself, and sometimes with the help of close friends. Once that is done, any visuals will also be DIY. Her live band is made up of Thomas Dunk on drums, Sara Madaluni on keys, and Sam Clarke on bass, and they add some live excitement to her production that are in the genre of indie/alternative/very very chill pop. The unique thing to listen for in her act is her way of singing in a jazzy and almost middle eastern way. The main goal of the music (besides being good) is to make listeners feel for which there is no word yet, some mix between nostalgia and confusion. During the live act, it is a lot more cheerful than her lyrics plan for it to be, and these are always filled with metaphors and imagery which have a deeper and more poetic meaning than most other ‘pop’.

The Brighton-based four-piece, whose sound has evolved from classic indie numbers to incorporating “creamy guitars, big hooks, and hypnotic grooves”, first met at university and started jamming in the living room of their shared house. Their 2018 debut single Wildflower’ was packed with spangly guitars and wistful vocals, and now boasts almost half a million streams. New banger, ‘Bloodstream’, however, is reminiscent of electronic artists Dusky and Bonobo, who the band count as recent influences on their sound as well as indie gods, Foals.
