Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Terminally ungoogleable and fresh off a reissue with DC weirdo-indie faves Carpark, @ are fittingly idiosyncratic: alt-pop seamlessly inflected with glitchy ambient and electro-prog, like the sound of the 70s folk revival converted to MIDI. Highly recommended FFO: Feeble Little Horse, Alex G, Allegra Krieger, Greg Mendez, Me Lost Me."

With an affinity for blending digital with analog elements, @ describe their debut album ,Mind Palace Music as “hyperfolk,” though the record never feels self-indulgent — hitting the sweet spot between pleasantly familiar and refreshingly innovative. “We were pretty aware of trying to make something well-crafted that would hold up,” Filipczak says. “I was stoked that I could show some of the tracks to my grandma and she would be able to dig it. It probably doesn’t sound that different from, like, Simon and Garfunkel to her.” Filipczak and Rose collaborate on music from their respective cities, Baltimore and Philadelphia. The band currently performs as a 4 piece, adapting their recordings to an instrumentally diverse live set, including flute, PVC whistle, microkorg. Additional members include Nino Soberon on cello, bass and melodica, and Nina Ryser on drums and melodica.
