The King Chameleon, Amri, Ziggy 2000 at The Jam Jar
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Dilla-worthy breaks, grooves and languid guitar lines bumping together in a dusty atmosphere of downbeat jazz-funk / boom-bap soul-stirrers. Guaranteed blunted beauty inside FFO: Surprise Chef, Khruangbin, BADBADNOTGOOD, The Heliocentrics."

ZIGGY 2000
“All hail Ziggy 2000 - candy princess and Bristol’s new bubblegrunge sweetheart. The lovechild of fairy pop and gritty alt rock, it’s as if she culminates in a dazzling puff of smoke. Be sure to expect a strong whiff of whimsy, searingly crunchy guitars and powerfully nostalgic melodies that burrow deep into your chest — returning, as if conjured through her magic, back home into your heart.”
