MORE MOODS
Ruel Australia
Sydney's RUEL joins us on Mood on the Roof, which this time just happens to be a floor down, for a secret YouTube Music Nights show in our warehouse, played in the round to a sweat-soaked crowd getting the new Kicking My Feet & Screaming songs at point-blank range.
Sports United States
Oklahoma’s Sports have spent the last decade making electronic/pop music that’s almost too slippery to categorise, pulling psych, funk, soft rock and electronics into something unmistakably their own. They hit the roof with two cuts from their new self-titled record, the nervy, glitch-heavy “Drama King” and the much warmer “Keep Falling in Love”.
Nick Mulvey United Kingdom
Nick Mulvey pulled up to the roof solo for two songs and twelve years between them, “Dark Harvest”, the title track off his fourth album, and “Fever to the Form”, his fan favourite dropped in 2014.
Jack Gray Australia
Jack Gray performs Winter City like a late check-in from the road, all cold-air pop hooks and touring fatigue, the sound of an Australian kid looking around a foreign skyline and turning the homesick feeling into something you can sing along to.
