Seabuckthorn is an acoustic solo artist who plays experimental cinematic music which is really hypnotic and rich. He's as much talented as he seems humble. He inspires me a lot.
Chevalien is a skilled artist that create his own genre. I would describe it as dark electronic, hip-hop, tribal music. He's an old and precious friend who's been inspiring me for almost a decade now.
You need to go to a Pinegrove gig to see how much of an accomplished and a cohesive band they make. There music is simple, genuine and poetic. I like how they compose and make there music alive.
