MELODY’S ECHO CHAMBER
Melody’s Echo Chamber is pop experimentalism at its purest. The debut self-titled album paved the way for a career that never took comfort in clichés. Bon Voyage (2018) is proof: a dense album that plays with listener expectations, exploring various places, sounds and textures, swerving at the last second into new territory when least expected. […]
UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA
If we believe that “Obama Era Indie Music” is really a thing, then Unknown Mortal Orchestra are definitely one of its last children.

TYLER BALLGAME
American singer Tyler Ballgame throws the 60s, 70s and 80s into a blender, with a very personal recipe that yields results that are uniquely his. With a distinct and contagious voice, Tyler moves between folk, pop and funk to sing about love — a feeling he “truly believes in,” as he says in every interview.
TRAVO
Travo are a relentless quartet from Braga and Porto who bring the most visceral side of psychedelic rock. The albums Sinking Creation (2022) and Astromorph God (2023) paved the way for concerts that are true electrical storms: cutting riffs, visceral vocals and a garage-trance energy.
