The best new and upcoming artists to look out for this month…
PALMISTRY
ThereÔÇÖs something incredibly appealing about PC music and PALMISTRY has got it spot on. From swooning vocals dripping in distortion to blipping synth lines, this London based producer comes bearing a musical escape you wonÔÇÖt be able to turn down. With a full-length debut album knocking around on Soundcloud thereÔÇÖs ample to get your teeth stuck into and by the time you reach track nine, it becomes clear that thereÔÇÖs going to be a hell of a lot more to come as well.

thestand4rd
Meet thestand4rd: Spooky Black, Psymun, Bobby Raps and Allan Kingdom. All brilliant in their own right, this recent project from the St. Paul, Minnesota natives is exactly what youÔÇÖd expect. Building beautifully crafted bridges between RnB and hip-hop, thestand4rd combine daydreamy synths and hypnotizing verse in an amalgamation of all their best individual endeavors. Clearly practiced at what they do and showing off the ability to flit between genres with ease, thestand4rd are not to be taken lightly.

Bruising
Enigmatic gets thrown around a lot when talking about new music. Who are they? Where did they come from? How are they so bloody good? Similarly, we know very little about Bruising; we donÔÇÖt even know how many of them there are. What we do know, however, is that their gritty offering of shoegazey pop is just what we need right now. With only one song available for listening, theyÔÇÖre certainly pulling off the whole ambiguous vibe – Bruising, we await your next move.

Carneyval
Willow Smith has been getting a lot of attention recently. Whether itÔÇÖs her sweet, sweet style or equally enticing voice, thereÔÇÖs always something flagging her up for comment. This time, though, itÔÇÖs not about Willow. This time itÔÇÖs about Carneyval. The 20 year-old producer, otherwise known as William Carney, has put his magic touch on the youngest SmithÔÇÖs King Krule cover, and my God, was he right to do so; a glistening example of indie turned pure pop, ÔÇÿEasy EasyÔÇÖ shows him Carneyval his best. With efforts in funk and dance also firmly under his belt, this multi-faceted musician has something for everyone.
For Fans Of: Everything; you canÔÇÖt not like Carneyval.
