The Forty-Five - Great Escapism

View this email in your browser
Hello hello,

If the world was right, some of us would today be in Brighton, watching music's great hope play in a stuffy back room – or more likely queuing outside to get in. The Great Escape festival is a big one in the music calendar. Not only does it kick off the UK's fezzie season but it's a chance to discover your new favourite band (while they perform to a room full of industry wankers). In the absence of this year's festival, we thought it only right to shine a light on a few of the emerging acts who should have been playing. There's loads more on this playlist, too.
ARXX
An angsty indie pop duo who thrash hard. In their own words they sound like a combo of "Dream Wife, Haim, Muna and Dolly Parton." Yes please.
Listen to: Iron Lung
Benee
Kiwi bedroom pop akin to Billie Eilish and Clairo (although she hates the comparisons.)
Listen to: Glitter
Shygirl
If MIA and PC Music collaborated, it would sound like Shygirl. Catchy computer pop with bars.
Listen to: 'BB'
Katy J Pearson
Country-tinged guitar music by way of the west country – that's Bristol, not Nevada. 
Listen to: Take Back The Radio
Bree Runway
Hackney rap superstar-in-the-making already getting nods from Missy Elliot and stirring things up across the pond. Check out her collab with Yung Baby Tate. ⬇️
Listen to: 'Damn Daniel'
Sinead O Brien
Mark E Smith if he was a female, Irish spoken word poet. Sounds shit? It surprisingly works.
Listen to: 'Roman Ruins'
