Hibou: Hibou is the solo project of songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Peter Michel. Based in the south of France, Michel builds a dreamscape of sounds driven by sparkling guitar hooks and new wave inspired rhythms. Meticulously assembled with potent lyrics, crooning melodies, and propulsive drums, Hibou crafts an entrancingly nostalgic sound that continues to blossom upon every listen.

Still Ruins: Formed in 2018, the Oakland three-piece, consisting of Frankie Soto, Jose Medina, and Cyrus VandenBerghe, are exponents of the kind of dream wave that stays with you for days on end. On their debut self-titled EP, the only inevitable thing to do is press play again, again, and again. What Still Ruins do on their debut release is take the essence of Roxy Music’s Avalon and intersect it with the melodic textures of The Chameleons. A throw-back concern, however this is the kind of nostalgia that does wonders for the soul, making you realise why you fell in love with music in the first place.

Lovers Peak: Chicano twin group from Northern California. Blending indie, surf rock, and lo-fi.
