Grimes

“‘Post-internet’ is a term that’s stuck all too easily (guilty as charged) to Grimes’ airy cyborg-pop, thanks in part to her endless quotability in acknowledging the digital world’s influence on her aesthetic.”

— Pitchfork

Elite Gymnastics

“[T]he Minneapolis-originating duo of James Brooks and Jonathan Clancy [make] technicolor electronic pop that that uses whatever oddly fascinating style came across the RSS feed — K-pop, chillwave, rave — as a wide-eyed sonic playground.”

— SPIN

Myths

“The music [of] MYTHS maintains the dark, at times off-putting synth pop that has characterized the duo from the beginning. By their own admission, though, the duo are still making positive music.”
