addy - “Planted”

SXSW 2020 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 2

Pairs Well With…The Shins, Belle & Sebastian, Real Estate

Performing in a breezy, airy rock setting, addy brings a little bit of bedroom-pop vulnerability to his sound that give his 2020 debut full-length Eclipse an extra degree of emotional heft. There’s an alt-country layer to addy’s music as well, reflective slices of Americana intermingling with his naturally warm, indie rock vibe and instrumentation. Eclipse emits a nostalgic tone throughout, but addy keeps things interesting with little twists and shifts to break the comfort of his mature and cohesive baseline. (Kevin McStravick)
