An indie-pop trio based out of Hartlepool, Mt. Misery was initially a solo venture for songwriter Andrew Smith, before, at the start of 2019, morphing into a full band. The stunning debut album from Mt. Misery reflects a timeless but beautiful heartbreak for fans of Real Estate, Whitney, Teenage Fanclub and Alvvays.

Ville à Dômat: The Next Level
Vida Festival divendres
Divendres és el dia del pop en majúscules, present en tots els vessants possibles: De l’especial aroma -mig seixantes mig electrònic- de La Casa Azul (presenten disc), a les lànguides harmonies i cristal·lines guitarres indies de Real Estate. Del classisme a Dr Dog al despotisme irònic de Los Punsetes. Tot arrodonit per la majestuosa presència psicodèlica de Wayne Coyne i els seus The Flaming Lips, una vella aspiració de la organització. Les guitarres seguiran sent protagonistes amb Devendra Banhart, amb disc editat aquest hivern o la incorruptible dona-orquestra Lídia Damunt, que ensenyarà de nou el magnífic ‘Telepatía’.

Music by Bergman: Seeing Hands
Newcastle dream pop outfit Seeing Hands have just released two singles so far: “I Knew” and “It’s True”. Comprising of Kev Curran, Nick Hodgson (lead guitar), Jon Varty (bass) and Liam Guillan (drums), the quartet’s jangly guitars and dreamy vocals are ready to set off. Their songs take the form of glimmering dream-pop, inspired by the likes of Real Estate and The War On Drugs.
Music by Bergman: Amber Arcades
Amber Arcades is the moniker of Dutch-born musician Annelotte de Graaf. De Graaf first started writing songs in 2010 while temporarily living in Philadelphia. Back in the Netherlands she put out a first EP in 2012 containing soft-voiced, melancholic folk ballads.
Wanting to develop her sound and mature from the safe bedroom folk environment, she got in touch with producer Ben Greenberg (Beach Fossils, The Men, Destruction Unit) to produce a collection of songs she had written over the years. In May 2015, de Graaf flew out to New York to record the songs in the Strange Weather recording studio in Brooklyn, backed by a band consisting of members of Real Estate, Quilt and Kevin Morby.
The result is a record that is as dreamy and esoteric as it is gripping, presenting slightly off, floating pop melodies over a mixture of kraut-inspired drums, cutting guitars and fuzzed-out organs.
