Falls Festival & Southbound announces 2nd line-up SOAK, JARRYD JAMES, & ELLIPHANT!
Falls Festival have announced a second killer line-up featuring SOAK, JARRYD JAMES, & ELLIPHANT.
SOAK Deriving her name from the phonetic combination of the words ‘soul’ and ‘folk’ (which she herself describes as odd considering the fact that her music isn’t really either) SOAK is the pseudonym of 18 year-old Irish prodigy Bridie Monds-Watson.
Her debut album Before We Forgot How To Dream was released in May this year to breathless reviews following an unprecedented level of hype arising from her recent performances at SXSW. Tunes like ‘Sea Creatures’ and ‘Blud’ have become ubiquitous as SOAK converts one devotee after another.
JARRYD JAMES 2015’s breakthrough artist has been busy charming the country with his double-platinum hit single ‘Do You Remember’ from his forthcoming debut LP due out this September.
Warm hearted and easy going, his second single ‘Give Me Something’ has already reached #1 airplay on triple j with its silky smooth, soul-tinged tones. Failing to stop there, his fresh collab with Julia Stone formed the über lush track ‘Regardless’ – all of which are perfectly positioned to kill it live on the Falls stage!
ELLIPHANT Swedish singer and rapper ELLIPHANT is a galvanising SWAT-led assault of MIA-grade political gyration and avant-garde dance.
The reggae-pop maverick’s Look Like You Love It EP featured the likes of Diplo, Skrillex, TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek and more. Her intoxicating, yet intricate title track ‘One More’ got a lot of Summer love from triple j and features fellow Scandinavian native MØ.
Also added to the line-up and bringing the LOL’s are some of Australia’s funniest guys & gals including NAZEEM HUSSAIN, RANDY, ADAM ROZENBACHS, NICK CODY, BECKY LUCAS, & TIEN TRAN.
