![UUOO: Pronounced 'woo', UUOO is the project of Sam Wooster, a purveyor of eerie, ominous synthpop with remarkably deep undertones. Bringing together soulful melodies with layers of ambient synth Wooster has a knack of crafting a warm, embracing atmosphere then taking it away instantly, a fresh sense of unpredictability that sets him up to become something huge in the future.]()

![Dead Crow Pirates: Aside from the somewhat ominous name, Dead Crow Pirates craft some of the most immersive music we've heard recently. Subdued and impassioned, each track subtly draws you in with layers of folky ambience, culminating in a wholly resonant, charming take on an old formula.]()

![Heavy Waves: First making a splash last summer, Heavy Waves might be your new favourite slacker-rock sweethearts. These guys aren't afraid to go all out on the fuzz front but maintain an anthemic nuance to their sound with suitably huge choruses and melodies.

![Superfood: Breaking through at the same time as Peace and Swim Deep, Superfood take the raucous melodic foundations of the questionably named 'B-town' sound into visceral new territories, though maintain a sense of intricacy in everything they do.
