London-based singer-songwriter Claudia Kate has a sound that sits somewhere between the outspokenness of Kate Nash, the infectious energy of Remi Wolf, and the honest musicality of Maggie Rogers, having also been compared to Brit-nominated Self Esteem for her use of spoken word and her friend-in-me lyricism. It is evident through both Claudia’s music and social media presence that she is passionate about helping people feel better about themselves, and creating a community surrounding female empowerment and youth freedom. Her new EP ‘How Sweet’ celebrates the highs and lows of life, it being her most personal project so far. “Brooding, infectious modern pop” – Matt Plumb, BBC Introducing.
With support from ‘sadplanet’, a five-piece shoegaze/dream-pop group from London. Formed in late 2023. With a sound characterised by lush, layered instrumentation, sadplanet masterfully blends impactful percussion, grooving basslines, harmonious and cathartic guitars, and sweet, soothing vocals paired with thoughtful lyrics. Their unique fusion of shoegaze and dream-pop, sprinkled with indie and electronic elements, offers a refreshing take on the shoegaze revival.
