The Hidden Gems This list is a collection of relatively unknown (or underrated), brilliant tracks released in 2017 (except maybe a hit or two; these could be new to certain members + they deserve a mention). From underground acts to well-known artists with solid fanbases and long careers: this isn't limited to certain genres or certain level of popularity, or anything at all: I wanted to create an inclusive Top 50 with artists from different places, both artistically and geographically with only one thing in common: quality.

Egon Schiele Posted December 22, 2017 Author Posted December 22, 2017 #50 - INHEAVEN | TREATS Quote Inheaven sounds like the lovechild of a 90s grunge band and any of the mainstream rock bands which ruled the subsequent decade and just the right amount of pop to make it the ultimate cheerleader heavy rock banger. Think of a contemporary tribute to Hole during the Celebrity Skin era. The video is also a tribute to Nirvana and the cult-classic horror film Carrie.
Wondervisions Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Here for it! And that Inheaven track is pretty dope a really pretty aesthetic.
Egon Schiele Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 #49 THE SOUND OF ARROWS | BEAUTIFUL LIFE Quote In 2011, The Sound Of Arrows debuted with Voyage, a dreamy cinematic masterpiece that is considered by many a modern cult-classic. After six long years of silence, they returned with Stay Free, a celebration of life with a positive message for those struggling in these chaotic times. Their sound is more stripped-down now, more orchestral and reminiscent of trip-hop classics. Stefan Storm (lead singer of the duo) stated that they didn't want to release anything until they had an album that mantained the quality of their debut... and that's exactly what they did.

Egon Schiele Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) #48 - FAZERDAZE | LUCKY GIRL Quote When I first listened to Fazerdaze, I thought it was a band, similar to Wild Nothing in terms of style, and when I realized it was the solo project of multi-instrumentist Amelia Murray (from New Zealand), I simply fell in love. Fazerdaze is a promising one-woman project and I'm sure we'll be getting more amazing dreampop and shoegaze-inspired cuts from her in the future. Edited December 23, 2017 by Egon Schiele
Egon Schiele Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 #47 - METHYL ETHEL | UBU Quote Ubu was the second single from the sophomore album by the Australian art-rock band Methyl Ethel. The odd chorus (Why'd you have to go and cut your hair?) becomes a powerful rhetorical question once you pay attention to the rest of the lyrics and realize this song is about someone who potentially suffers from depression and/or social anxiety. It's also a fun song to dance to.
Egon Schiele Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) #46 - YAEJI | RAINGURL Quote Yaeji's sound is a mix of addictive house music, trap and rap. She writes, sings and produces her own music, which incorporates some verses in Korean. One thing that I really appreciate about her as an artist is her ability to produce bangers but also to write about introspective topics, dealing with her identity, anxiety and many other themes. Yaeji is also a painter and graphic designer. That's it for today! Tune in after xmas to find out who are the next five positions xoxo Edited December 24, 2017 by Egon Schiele
Wondervisions Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Omg is the Methyl lead voice a guy's voice? :o I stan reminds me a bit of Tame Impala's last album. And yes at house queen Yaeji
