NZCA/LINES @ Birthdays, London 14/06

Paint It Black London presents another incredible line-up at Birthdays in Dalston, this time headliners by firm Best Fit favourite and ex-Your Twenties bassist Michael Lovett, aka NZCA/LINES, who creates effortlessly intoxicating numbers inhabited by shimmering synths and flickering R&B rhythms.

Blondes @ Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh 14/06

You’re unlikely to find a more brilliant, drowsy electronic offering this year than Zach Steinman and Sam Haar’s self-titled album as Blondes. The Brooklyn pair met at college in Ohio and since then have been delighting us with perfectly majestic dance music that has firms roots in the workings of Giorgio Moroder.

Visions of Trees @ Queen of Hoxton, London 14/06

Having gone a bit quiet on us since last year’s ‘Sirens (Novocaine)’ bedroom pop King and Queen Sara Atalar and Joni Juden will be finally celebrating the release of their eponymous debut LP, released via Something In Construction.
