SURPRISE SPECIAL UK GUEST
Surprise guest that we can’t reveal quite just yet but we are VERY EXCITED to have her! She’s a UK Communion favourite and we are elated to host her for her US debut before she heads out to SXSW!
The High Highs
“Imagine a midnight stroll through snowy city streets. For a brief time, the cold air and the threat of a misstep on the slick pavement are the only things worth contemplating. A momentary, meditative calm settles in, as the familiar troubles, fears and daily causes for concern are obliterated.The High Highs’ members probably did a fair amount of solitary snow-trudging in Brooklyn this past winter — and, whether they realize it or not, they provide a perfect soundtrack.” -www.npr.org
Rachel Sermanni
www.myspace.com/racahelsermanni
“Sermanni has been particularly embraced by the hipsterish end of the contemporary folk spectrum, becoming something of a protégée for Mumford & Sons and their London-based Communion collective. Any resulting preconceptions of wispy feyness and wobbly intonation were immediately dispelled by her ardent, bell-like singing and strikingly mature, literate songcraft.”- www.scotsman.com
Christopher Paul Stelling
www.myspace.com/freedumbmusesick
“The musical storytelling of Christopher Paul Stelling embodies a long road full of lush folkloric, mythological and religious imagery.” – WNYC
“…organic, southern Gothic-meets-classic folk vibe. Everything about his performing style and songs was inspiring, refreshing, and also blissfully familiar…” – Beyond Race Magazine
ON THE DECKS:
Neon Gold:
“Record Label of the year, 2010. Neon Gold was founded by Derek Davies and Lizzy Plapinger in late 2008. Their taste for emerging talents brought them from blogsters to well known twenty somethings in the music industry.”
Previous Releases: Passion Pit, marina and the Diamonds, Your Twenties, Ellie Goulding, and many more.
DLake:
DLake is one half of the Underground Pop duo “Claire Hux” but one WHOLE all service Musician. From producing the next Claire Hux club banger to spinning chill wave indie folk rock at a trendy LES lounge… DLake never limits himself with genres.
