Thoughts becoming her
Mean on, let it
When our lips come together
I come over
Wake up notices you made it
Beauty, baby
When our lips come together
I get, older
If you're lucky, you might already know Wye Oak, perhaps from their outstanding 2011 album and single "Civilian". If you're not lucky, he's your opportunity to win. "Spiral" one of two terrific songs they put out in September will give you an idea of their sound.

Wild heart, dressed in jewels
She on a mission, don't you know Ruby rules
Fire up, turn it back around
We can see you rising up about the crowd, you're far away but we can hear you shout
IDER was one of the bands I discovered while listening to Iceland Airwaves playlists. Unfortunately, we didn't catch them, so I can't speak to their live show, but their music is mellow, engaging and beautiful. I've been rolling through their catalog and it's been a bit hard to choose a Most Important, so if you like "King Ruby" be sure and check out some more, it's fantastic.
RIYL: Glass Animals, Sylvan Esso, Joywave, Tame Impala
I was so glad to catch Kiriyama Family's full set. We walked in at the tail end of one of their shows and I was pulled in by their sophisticated-yet-groovy 80's sound, so made a plan to catch them the next day. It was a great plan. They're terrific and I'm hoping they'll make their way stateside soon. SXSW? They seem like they'd be a perfect fit.
