Little Dragon- The psychedelic pop sounds of Sweden's Little Dragon are a delectably danceable layer cake of juxtapositions. Far-out synths laid atop driving beats and basslines covered in the sweet iciness of Yuki Nagano's delicate voice. Their sound has gained momentum in Europe, and despite having no record label in the U.S., Little Dragon has culled a devout following in the States due to tours with TV on the Radio and constant radio rotation of cuts from their newest album, Machine Dreams.
VV Brown- VV Brown makes pop music from another planet—a world that resembles ours but is a lot more fun and unpredictable. “I’m a messenger from the future, but I’m getting love and memories from the past,” the 25-year-old British chanteuse explains. “I’m bringing the two together to create a new kind of energy.” Energy, indeed: If Brown displayed any more exuberance, she might just burst into flames. A rocket ride through doo-wop, glam, alt-rock, electronica, ’50s rock, and even video-game noises. After growing up “a tall black girl nerd loner” in Northampton, England, Brown bolted for Los Angeles following high school to pursue a singing career but returned to the U.K. when the pressure to become Beyoncé 2.0 proved too great.
