a.gris: Folk-Glitch is the new genre under which France's Alex Delamard (Hoorsees) is flying the flag of his new solo project. It's folk meets electronica for debut tune 'Oblivion', which has hints of Linkin Park meets Smashing Pumpkins, performed at a folk club and put through a 2025 filter!

The Bernadette Maries: Feeling a bit like a chilled Fontains DC at times, this Belgium band have firm roots in 90s indie! 'The Closer You Look' which would be right at home on a 90s post-punk shoegaze playlist.
