SXSW 2016: Charlotte Cardin

We'll stick with the women today.  This is a singer out of Montreal.  Jazzy.  She was in the French-Canadian version of the Voice and came in 4th. It appears she's a model, too.

A mix between Kat Edmonson and Bittersweet.

Big Boy

SXSW 2016: Laura Gibson

Another female singer-songwriter.  She's originally from Oregon but now in NYC.

This song has a "Tusk" beat with a more gothic sound.  It came out in 2012 on Barsuk.  Back then she did World Cafe and Tiny Desk Concert on NPR.  I don't see any new stuff coming out but she was in a building that exploded in the East Village in March that destroyed all her stuff.  She survived and started a GoFund me campaign to start over.   In her letter she does say she's working on a new record so maybe that's coming out soon.


La Grande

SXSW 2016: Your Friend

Since I missed a couple days I'll post a bunch today.  This is the moniker of Taryn Miller, a singer-songwriter out of Kansas.  Her first album just came out on Domino Records (The Kills, Real Estate).

Reminds me a little of Lower Dens.

Bangs

SXSW 2016: Grace Mitchell

I'll stick with the dance pop today. This is another major label future hitmaker.  She's an 18-year-old out of Portland that's signed to Republic Records (Taylor Swift, Lorde).  Enough said.

NoLo

SXSW 2016: The Chainsmokers

Phil saw these guys on James Corden's Late Late Show and recommended them.  It's a duo of NYC producers that bring in different singers.  This one is a major hit on the dance stations worldwide.  It has 11.6M listens on Soundcloud and it's only a sample.  I'll throw up a link to the Spotify full-version below (117M listens).

They haven't released a full album yet.
