Com Truise + Molly Nilsson

With a spoonerism of Tom Cruise for a stage name, track titles like ‘VHS Sex’ and ‘Futureworld’ plus ’80s-inspired album art, it should come as no surprise that New Jersey’s Seth Haley is a chillwaver by trade. Though his music is as nostalgia-inducing and waterlogged as one might expect, his self-dubbed ‘mid-fi synth-wave, slow-motion funk’ is varied, well-executed and demented enough to stand out from the hypnagogic hordes. Sweden’s Molly Nilsson, a fellow synth obsessive, should offer a delicate counterpoint to Haley with her bittersweet, hypnotic and deceptively simple pop.

MOLLY NILSSON:

Sweden’s Molly Nilsson famously created the excellent song ‘Hey Moon!’ that John Maus awkwardly (charmingly?) sung over the top of last year. While we doubt she minded the tribute (or the boost in exposure), Nilsson’s deceptively simple pop is bittersweet and hypnotic enough to fascinate on its own. That she’s stylish and sexy and wan should also contribute to a compelling live performance.
