Brian Elliot – ‘Strange’
About Brian Elliot
East Nashville’s Brian Elliot is an emerging singer-songwriter with a cinematic, indie-rock style. Through music and analog film, he captures the feelings of love lost and the hopelessness of choosing art as a purpose in the 21st century. The result is a juxtaposition between his meticulously crafted sounds and the non-linear nature of 35mm and Super 8 film. Influenced by Arcade Fire, David Bowie, Frank Sinatra, and classic films, his art lives in an audio/visual universe that lies between Alex Turner and Quentin Tarantino. Elliot’s debut album, Familiar Walk To Nowhere is composed of crooning vocals, fuzz guitars, string sweeps, and warm synth pads. The record features visual media shot in the American Southwest that evoke the feeling of the vast loneliness of an uncertain destination. Listeners seeking an immersive experience will appreciate traveling through the landscape of Brian Elliot’s, Familiar Walk To Nowhere.

ANDRÆ – ‘Negative mountains’
About ANDRÆ
ANDRÆ is an independent one-man band leading his own project, associating dark electronic and organic sounds with soulful vocals. Initially influenced by soul and jazz singers like Brenda Lee, Ray Charles and Nina Simone, he also starts showing interest in experimental pop artists like James Blake, serpentwithfeet and Sevdaliza.
Currently based in London, originally from Brussels, he begins to show a natural talent for all kinds of artistic disciplines, especially visual arts, as a way of escaping a world that does not seem to accept him. He later taught himself piano at a young age, then turned to songwriting and music production in his teens. After releasing a few songs over the past few years, being featured on many blogs and airplayed on shows like BBC 6 Introducing, he prepares a new project: an EP called ‘I don’t fall, I crash’ that comes out in November 2020. This year, ANDRÆ is already coming back with a new song ‘Negative mountains’ as the first song of a new EP that will be out by the end of 2021. One of his previously released songs will also be featured in an NBC TV show in March (more info to come). He writes, produces and performs every song, creates all his visuals and music videos himself.

Colour Tongues – ‘Wasted’
About Colour Tongues
Since their inception, Colour Tongues have taken hits and weathered storms, both literally and figuratively, and they’re still alive to tell the story. Boasting a nurse, a carpenter, an actor, and a dog walker, the band combines elements of math and progressive rock with dreamy indie pop.
James Challis, Colour Tongue’s singer and guitarist is an Australian native whose father was a high ranking member of the Sahaja Yoga cult in the early 80’s and 90’s. Thankfully for Challis, his mother got the kids out.
As a child, Challis would bang his head on his pillow every night before bed. When his mother asked him why he answered: “I’m banging on my pillow to a song I have in my head”. Instead of ADHD pills, he was given a guitar.
As a young musician, Challis was in awe when introduced to Transatlanticism and Plans by Death Cab for Cutie. Inspired by the poetry and imagery in the lyrics, and the songwriting relationship between Chris Walla and Ben Gibbard, Challis was determined to form his own band.

reilly – ‘Outside’
About reilly
I’m reilly, a 20 y/o singer, producer and songwriter from denver, co. i’ve written music from a young age, but always put aside the ambitious voice telling me to pursue it. during the the early pandemic days i started fooling around on garageband for the first time in years and fell in love. most of what i make will probably fall under some indie subgenre. i grew up watching my dad make music in a similar DIY fashion, and he helps me with everything i write. i’m into modern indie, but i’m also influenced by the beach boys, george michael, the strokes, kanye, and elvis to name a few.
