If Daft Punk and Fleet Foxes had a lovechild, this band would disappoint its parents and be sent to boarding school for sounding like The 1975. One part emo synth pop and one part indie rock, The Sometimes Island knows its way around a pop song. Buzznet called the Bad People EP “the future of synthpop”, and they’ve performed with Banks, YACHT, Fred Falke and more. The band name comes symbolically from a lake island in Austin where Matt grew up. Depending on the water level, the island is either emerging from the surface, or submerged and hidden, waiting to be reborn. The LA-based alt pop band takes the stage next on April 2 at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. website facebook twitter instagram
