Jesse Doherty, songwriter for Catskills-based band Battle Ave (formed in 2009 by Doherty and drummer Samantha Niss), seems to be waiting for popular trends to catch up with him. His compositions of wobbly synthesizers, garbled vocals, and clear-eyed melody recall outré acts like Frog Eyes as much as they do music that will catch on in five years. Their 2011 debut War Paint was a cathartic rollercoaster, with Doherty testing the limits of his self-taught voice under layers of distortion. The record that followed, 2015’s Year of Nod, found the band using a more subdued palette to paint, as James Rettig wrote, “a cloudy landscape of emotional peaks and valleys.” Battle Ave often feels like a hub, a place where things that feel familiar are captured and distorted until you no longer know what to make of them.

Originally hailing from Buckinghamshire, South London based indie quartet Bleach Lab are establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with, conjuring spaced-out melodies alongside jangly guitars. Taking the heart-on-sleeve vocals of Julia Jacklin and mixing it with the opalescent soundscapes of Mazzy Star and Cocteau Twins, Bleach Lab have fused their own introspective yet emotionally frenetic soundscape.
