End Of The Road 2017

From the sparse fragility of his debut, to the pulsing, industrial-pop on 2014’s Too Bright, Mike Hadreas’ arrangements have become progressively bolder with each release. Even so, latest LP No Shape is the Seattle-based singer-songwriter’s least inhibited – and finest – effort yet, ricocheting between rococo trills and swooning strings, strutting funk and pared-back piano ballads. Hear the highlights during Perfume Genius’ Garden Stage set on Sunday, alongside classics like 'Queen' and 'Mr Peterson'.

Three years since they first made indie-pop fans swoon with their C86-referencing debut, Alvvays are preparing to unveil the follow-up, Antisocialites, in early September. Judging by the tracks shared from it so far, the Toronto quartet haven’t lost their knack of nailing a melody, nor their enjoyably dark sense of humour. Get a sneak preview of the new material and prepare to bellow along to ‘Archie, Marry Me’, on Saturday – they play the main Woods Stage just before Band Of Horses.

You may recognise Moses Sumney’s voice from Solange’s album A Seat At The Table, or perhaps from his recent collaborations with Flume or The Cinematic Orchestra. If you don’t, it’s time to get acquainted with one of the most spellbinding and soulful voices about. The Californian singer-songwriter will be unveiling his debut in late September via Jagjaguwar, and it’s being billed as “a concept album about lovelessness as a sonic dreamscape.” Expect to be picking your jaw up off the floor following his Saturday afternoon set.
