En av vårens smått hajpade USA-akter med gig på SXSW och ett otal remixer i bagaget. Blackbird Blackbird är egentligen ett enmansprojekt signerat Mikey Sanders, men live görs han ofta sällskap av vänner. Med förinspelade beats, ett mixerbord och mikrofoner strömmar naiv och dansant pop ut i Teaterladan under en av de sista festivaldagarnas första konserter. Missa inte covern på Modest Mouse - Float On mot slutet av gigget eller på vårt Soundcloud.
"During the continued rise of electronic music over the past several years, countless acts have attempted to take the basic facets of the genre and make it their own with little twists of psychedelia and the like. It's a tricky endeavor, for sure, so we're glad that bands like Blackbird Blackbird have joined in on the fun with songs that pick and choose the best styles to create something that is at once familiar and fresh. Though their debut doesn't have any ceiling-shattering moments, it is unfailingly pleasant in its entirety because of its apparently innate carefree breeziness. The fact that most of the songs are two minutes or less in length only makes them sweeter in their apparent simplicity. Though it's most often low-key, the music on here is memorable for its wistful, layered hooks and simple but affecting lyrics and instrumentation. Check it out!" The Music Ninja
