5. Laurel Halo (Warsaw, 11.00pm, 20th April)
Laurel Halo offered one of the most complete and interesting concerts at the past autumn edition of Unsound in Krakow. At the time, her two EPs on Hippos In Tanks were still fresh out - particularly “Hour Logic”, the housier of the two. It was clear that she would be going deeper into her danceable sound in the near future, something that can be heard on her first 12” as King Felix, while at the same time fine-tuning her pop side. This is the year of Laurel Halo's final breakthrough, and this live show promises to be a revelation.
