Sounds like: The perfect soundtrack for days when your head feels like it’s being suffocated by dark cloudsįor fans of: Beach House, Daughter, The xx The producer making introspective music for bleak times Key track: ‘Big Fat Mouth’ (JB) Art School Girlfriend They’re in the very strange position of being a local band with a global fanbase – and it’s always fun to get onboard with an act on the ground and watch them grow. Why you’re going to love them: The trio are local heroes at US college Vanterbilt, where they’re studying, yet their tracks ‘Didya Think’ and ‘Big Fat Mouth’ have racked up millions on streams on Spotify, and they’ve since landed a deal with Atlantic Records. USP: Weird production sound effects and obscure, ethereal vocals meet with massive pop choruses, resulting in deceptively ambitious songs that are DIY in attitude but future chart fodder in effect. Sounds like: Knowingly naïve, romantic indie-pop underpinned by hip-hop-influenced percussion The winsome college indie band taking on the world Key track: Some Mutts (Can’t Be Muzzled) (DS) Arlie One of their two EPs to date, ‘Giddy Up’, was written, recorded and released in just 12 hours.
Why you’re going to love them: They’re all about capturing lightning a bottle (a bottle of White Lightning, most likely). USP: Embracing the Australian ‘bogan’ stereotype, these Rough Trade signees are a liquor-swigging, poppers-snooting, mullet-rocking gang whose music straddles punk and FM rock – and whose gigs are sweatier than a Bondi Beach BBQ. Rough Trade-signed riff-raff ushering a new age of bristling garage-punkįor fans of: Sheer Mag, The Distillers, The Strokes Key track: ‘Baddest’ (RD) Amyl & The Sniffers
Why you’re going to love her: The stupidly catchy ‘Baddest’ – her debut single – racked up one million streams in a single week probably due to so many listeners, including us, hammering the repeat button. She landed the role when she was just eight years old, putting most of our supporting school panto roles to shame. USP: Monet holds the impressive title of ‘longest serving Nala’ in the West End production of The Lion King. Sounds like: Smugly deleting the numbers of every single fuck-boy you dated in 2018įor fans of: Rihanna, Jhene Aiko, Kojo Funds Teen prodigy whose self-assured banger ‘Baddest’ went viral Fittingly the pains and tribulations of young love are all over Alfie Templemen’s music, shot through a kaleidoscopic haze that recalls Kevin Parker if he was into lounge-jazz. Why you’re going to love him: Teenage infatuation makes growing up an especially turbulent time, and though 20-somethings might say otherwise, that lusty chaos never really subsides: just look at the way people conduct themselves on Tinder. He used to feign headaches in order to skive off singing lessons, but after some firm encouragement he bit the bullet and handed his demoes around the classroom. USP: This ridiculously talented 15-year-old musician squeezes in bedroom recording sessions between chemistry classes and homework.

Sounds like: Lovestruck diary scribbles shot through a psych-pop lensįor fans of: Steve Lacy, Rex Orange County, Mac DeMarco The ridiculously talented teenager trading geography homework for giant bangers
Key track: ‘I Laugh When I’m With Friends But I’m Sad When I’m Alone’ (RD) Alfie Templeman In her own songs, she’s even more of a shape-shifter, pulling from sadness, anger, and addiction to deliver verses that range from beauty to pain. 070 Shake was one of the highlights of the Kanye-produced albums ‘Ye’, ‘Nasir’ (by Nas), and ‘Daytona’ (by Pusha T), bringing her unique voice and energy to each, effortlessly putting herself in the same league as rap’s greats. Why you’re going to love her: You probably already do – even if you don’t realise it. USP: She transcends other emo rappers by trying to find the beauty in her pain. Sounds like: Dark, moody rap that dares you to confront your inner feelingsįor fans of: Kanye West, Drake, JPEGMAFIA
