Wonderful Wonderful sees The Killers return after five years looking to make amends for a long and drawn out fourth album that lead singer Brandon Flowers called “not good enough”. And in many ways, it does this. Every bit as epic as 2012’s Battleborn, Wonderful Wonderful even attempts to showcase some evolution via variation in the band’s style that has been a long time coming. Whilst being different, Wonderful also manages to fizz and pop with...

Dominic Maker and Kai Campos, two halves of a whole Mount Kimbie, pioneered the post dubstep sound over a decade ago when they broke away from bassline and old school two step drum patterns, and began experimenting with more floating, playful sounds.

Hailing from Lowell, Massachusetts, PVRIS (pronounced “Paris”) have come a long way since releasing their debut album, White Noise, in 2014.
