Wonderfully woozy, grizzled New York alt.country combo play their scuffed, folky poetics in the headline slot, doubtless drawing heavily on 2012's 'God Bless You, Amigo'. These days the guys add playful notes of electronica to their rootsy, backwoods...

Perfume
Asian music
Three hyperactive girls from Hiroshima sing synth-heavy J-pop. The technology-fetishising audiovisual aspects of their performances make them a weirdly similar live experience to Kraftwerk, but with acrobatic dance moves and more relentless four-to-the-floor...

Caitlin Rose

Charming (and occasionally potty-mouthed) 22-year-old Nashville singer Rose does her Patsy Cline-like thang, adding a crystal clear voice to often stark, country-pop tunes with sharp lyrics. Her mum is a songwriter for Taylor Swift, trivia fans.
