Berlin based Slipper collage a heady harmonic mix of psychedelia and DIY-wrapped harmony pop, while Pictureframes’ songs evoke serene dreamlike folk lullabies FFO: Cate Le Bon, Yo La Tengo, early Sharon Van Etten, The Beta Band."

DANA GAVANSKI
Dana's Again Again EP sees the Canadian-Serbian artist turn to the piano as her muse. On her newly rekindled love for the instrument, Gavanski notes, “I decided to brush up on my piano skills and since then I’ve been obsessed. I feel like a big child on the piano. I love how my hands move up and down, like swooping eagles each time they hit a chord.”
Dana will be performing the e.p alongside new songs on the piano
