ACL 2015: Alina Baraz & Galimatias

Friday 2pm.  This timeslot has some good choices and one POS.  My first-choice is a mellow/KCRW friendly sound.  I love every song I've heard.  Just really good.  It's a collaboration between a 21yo singer from LA via Cleveland and a Danish electronic musician.  Reminds me of Portishead/Beth Orton/Air.  They're getting love from NPR/the Guardian/Huffington Post.

Unfortunately they're playing the Austin Ventures Stage at the same time as Nate Ruess (lead singer of FUN.!) so the excrement runoff will probably drown out their mellow sound.

Hard to pick one song.  If you like go to their Soundcloud page and listen.  The Guardian link above has a playlist, too. Good office background music.  Probably not good festival listening, though.  They should be in the tent.
