21 year-old brit Amber Bain graced the Austin Convention Center stage timidly, holding her guitar upside down to fit her left-handedness. Her presence creates a sense of uncertainty as to what will come and what sounds will soon fill the room. What follows is unexpected and melodically surreal: an otherworldly, synthetically trippy, beautiful sound that creates the sense of floating in a calming pool of water. Some songs keep your feet tapping, others have you swaying from side to side in a reflective state. Altogether, it is a strangely pleasant experience that ties in sounds of the past and future to surface a fascinating collective whole. –Ben Golden
