Stripped Sessions

New Zealand singer Thomston is being noticed for his brooding brand of minimalist pop music. He gives an exclusive performance of two tracks from his latest Backbone EP: Second To You and Collarbones.

London-based band The Mispers pare things back with acoustic performances of tracks Reach and Weekend. Their eclectic sound is led by bright violin strokes amid cascading guitar chords.

The Bohicas are causing a storm with the sparky indie-rock sounds of their debut album, The Making Of. During a visit to the studio, they perform stripped-down versions of Swarm and Where You At.

Settle in for some atmospheric dream pop from the Istanbul-based music makers The Away Days. They perform Best Rebellious from their EP THIS and give an exclusive performance of their single So Age.

Check out the first-ever live recording of electronic duo Shelter Point as they perform two tracks. Vocalist Liam Arnold croons over the track Braille and the duo opens with new track, Feed Me Soil.

Acclaimed for world-weary Americana redolent with long whisky sessions in lonely cabins, Denver's Nathaniel Rateliff is now making hollering and brass-stoked soul music with a seven-piece band.
