“I see my music being more experimental in the next 10 years… Music should be free-flowing and expressive,” says Marcel Everett, or better known as XXYYXX XXYYXX is 17-year-old Marcel Everett (he turns 18 this Halloween!), who described his music as “doing drugs on a freeway…underwater” because I don’t even think you can put a label on it. You can’t even classify his music into a single genre because his music is a mix of R&B, electronic, hip-hop, lo-fi, post-dubstep and probably ghostly elements? Because every time I listen to his songs it gives me a tingling feeling all the way down my spine. Maybe it has got to do with the ghost-like vocals he puts into his songs, or his insanely sick beats. His music is perfect for when you want to escape to an alternate dimension, because there’s not much lyrics on his songs so it kinda lets your mind wander a bit. Although he has a lot of different elements going around, everything blends perfectly thus making it very enjoyable. Not to be cheesy but his music really is out of this world. Another thing, XXYYXX is going to be performing at St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival 2014 in Singapore along with James Blake (who Marcel stated is one of his influences), Chvrches, HAIM, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and so much more!

I was first introduced to this girlband by my cousin, for he thought I looked like Alana Haim (which I now know for sure that I totally don't) and I've been listening to their songs non-stop ever since. They're going to release their new album 'Days Are Gone' on September 30th. You can pre-order their album here. After returning from their 2-week tour in Europe, White Shoes & The Couples Company released their European Tour Journal at GoetheHaus in Menteng, Central Jakarta. They preformed live for 90 minutes in front of a crowd of around 400 people. Halfway throughout the show, they showed us a video journal of their trip to Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Berlin. It was very entertaining to witness their trip in Europe, especially because we were probably the first ones to see the video, but other than that it is always exciting to get a sneak peek inside the life of a musician. It has always been a habit of White Shoes & The Couples Company to release a journal after returning home from a tour. This 40-paged journal (Below) consists of writings and photos taken by members of the band. It's only Rp50.000,00 but unfortunately there's only 500 copies available, so if any of you guys are interested, go ahead and check out their website here for details regarding the purchase. To be honest, this is my first time seeing them play live and I was absolutely mesmerized by their stage presence and charming charisma. They crack jokes in between songs and made conversation with the audience which to me was really great. It made everyone in the room feel welcomed. The live performance of the songs, raging from something that smells like disco to melancholic ballads, was just as amazing as the studio versions. Oh, and they were all wearing white shoes! Here are the pictures I was able to take. Enjoy! - Nabilla Utami |
