From his beginnings in Hendersonville, North Carolina (population 15k), to opening for The Kid LAROI on The First Time tour last year, glaive has become a name synonymous with a scene that redefines pop, not by distancing itself from tradition but by forging a new, innovative style. His previous works, including cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven, and then i’ll be happy, have all cemented him as a standout artist, lauded by the likes of The New York Times, Vulture, GQ and The FADER.  His 2nd studio album released in late 2024, May It Never Falter, was hailed as a genre-defying body of work that marked the beginning of an independent chapter in his artistry. Working closely with a tight-knit team of collaborators including John Cunningham (XXXTENTACION, Kanye West), Ralph Castelli (Dora Jar, The Neighbourhood), and Jeff Hazin (Kali Uchis, renforshort) the album served as a coming-of-age narrative set against the backdrop of adolescence and self-discovery. May It Never Falter was recorded in the remote landscapes of Iceland and Wales, continuing the Sigur Rós-inspired approach to isolated, immersive recording environments that began with his debut album i care so much i don’t care at all (2023). The album was listed as one of the best of 2024 by Vogue Magazine and was supported by a North American and European tour in spring of 2025. 

Tiffany Day has quickly emerged as one of the most compelling voices in hyper-digital pop, blending emotional chaos, internet-born edge, and forward-thinking production into a sound entirely her own. Born in Toronto and raised in Kansas, Tiffany first broke through with a viral cover of “Hallelujah,” building a YouTube audience of over 500,000 subscribers before graduating high school. She began releasing original music in college, quickly developing a devoted fanbase drawn to her wit, vulnerability, and genre-fluid instincts. A self-directed creative force, Tiffany has made her live show a defining pillar of her artistry, fusing choreography, visuals, and electronic-driven transitions that push her beyond traditional pop performance. In 2024, she independently funded and sold out several headline shows across a North American tour. She later expanded into the DJ scene, launching BASSFLUFF, a series of standalone events that generated viral moments DJing everywhere from gyms to nail salons. Her 2025 releases marked a sharp sonic evolution, leaning into electroclash and hyperpop textures. Singles like “BREAKUP,” “TELL ME WHAT I DID, ” and “START OVER” generated millions of views across platforms and earned coverage from NME, Ones to Watch, On The Radar, and beyond, positioning her at the forefront of a new wave of digital-native pop artists. That momentum culminates in her album HALO, released April 3, 2026 via Broke Records. The project debuted at #1 on the Apple Music Electronic chart and #25 on the Billboard Electronic/Dance Albums Chart, drawing early co-signs from artists like Laufey and Yunjin (LE SSERAFIM) alongside coverage from Pitchfork, The FADER, NYLON, LA Times, and more. To mark the release, Tiffany staged three headline shows - each of which sold out in under five minutes. With her production across nearly every track, HALO marks Tiffany's most cohesive and ambitious work to date, solidifying her not just as an artist to watch, but as a defining voice in the next era of hyperpop.

If you’re tapped in you already know all about kurtains. The songwriter, producer, and mixing engineer (who’s been mastering records since his teenage years, too), first began releasing songs in 2020 when he was stuck at home during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Life in Llanelli, Wales didn’t have a ton to offer in terms of the creative arts. He originally began by embracing SoundCloud as both a music discovery platform and a way to build his own burgeoning music career. kurtains quickly found communities across both ponds. through Discord channels, becoming close with artists like glaive, wido, ericdoa, and others.  “It would be, wake up, make beat, record vocals, go to bed, repeat,” he explains, reliving those earlier years of his career. kurtains became known as “the architect,” working on production, mixing, and mastering for a number of projects affiliated with his crew. Last year, he reemerged after a brief hiatus fully-formed as a songwriter, showcasing his most successful EP to date, florence fields. The project showcases his musical acumen—he’s got breathtaking chops as a singer, producer, and songwriter. Now, the 21-year-old is primed for his second breakout with sandy nevermore, which is both in conversation with its predecessor and the strongest collection of songs he’s penned to date.  kurtains’ precision, plus the textures in his arrangements, highlight his inimitable eye for detail while still allowing plenty of space for his earworm sense of melody. He looked to Drain Gang icons like Bladee and Ecco2K as inspirations. While that spirit was most apparent on florence fields, sandy nevermore is deeply informed by the classics, Tom Petty, and his personal GOAT, Michael McDonald. All this to say, sandy nevermore has hooks for days from all sorts of sonic touchstones; it’s the thread that connects the record, whether he’s diving into deep house, indie rock, plugg-leaning rap, or acoustic rock jams.  Nothing is off-limits to kurtains on sandy nevermore, which began as a spiritual sequel to florence fields. “They’re kind of linked in writing and storytelling. Both projects are about one situation, at two different periods of time,” he explains. “These are from the same story.”  Sonically, it’s miraculous how much ground he covers from EP to EP, song to song. “sandy is the aftermath of the infatuation. It’s what happens after losing a feeling that completely takes over every aspect of your being.”  These are songs of regret and remorse, but kurtains brings an unrelenting energy to the project thanks to the eager experimentation of its seven songs. No two moments sound the same, no idea is off limits.  Opener “ego death” is a vulnerable, diaristic track that interpolates the pondering guitars of 90s alt-rock to highlight his near-falsetto and layers of harmonies. “save u,” just a few tracks later, builds from an organ riff before playing with the skittering percussion of underground electro music. He shifts between these two worlds seamlessly, ruminating on a former love that still lingers. “dodging“ introduces a playful, celebratory spirit that recalls some of the members of his crew, slowsilver03, which includes glaive, osquinn, and others. Elsewhere, “something must be going on” blends the ecstasy of Chicago house with 80s R&B.  This desire to expand his stylistic scope into a number of different genres first emerged when he began writing the EP. It was a vision that he struggled to honor originally. The project went through a number of iterations and began percolating in kurtains’ brain over two years ago. It was a realization, a new understanding of his own abilities, that allowed him to push through and create this one-of-a-kind project. “I’m confident enough in my vision to know that I can pull this off,” he explains. “Because whatever I do, it’s still going to sound like me. That’s a great feeling.”
