UNCHARTED: 2013 In Review: Catching Up With Ten of Our Favourite Musical Discoveries
Listen, we love the Beyoncés, Kanyes and Arcade Fires as much as you do, but what gets our fingers typing is digging up the weirdo pop musicians, DIY punk bands and forward-thinking electro-colonists crammed into squats and loft spaces and giving them a platform to go long and in-depth in interviews in ways a short magazine arts profile can't. To celebrate the end of 2013, we're taking a brief break from looking forward and catching back up with some of our favourite discoveries from the year of music.We sent each artist a trio of simple questions and let them take it in any direction they wanted to. Some, like Speedy Ortiz and Broken Deer, took it in an even more enthusiastic direction than we would have thought. Have a listen to their music, and see what they have planned for the next year. Needless to say, we're excited for each and every one of them.
