Psych-folktronic with a punk and pop ethic.

NYLES LANNON: Pressure
As Lannon tells us, "Pressure doesn't have a light at the end of the tunnel." It's lyrical content is steeped in dark thought: denial, guilt, temptation, regret. Swirling emotions choreographed into a series of well-crafted, intelligent pop songs.

KING OF SPAIN (MATT SLATE): Entropy
