Socks;SportsSocks

Somewhere between discomfort and rock 'n' roll, between virtuosity and amateurism, between disarming honesty and irony, you'll find Socks;SportsSocks—a Rotterdam band with a contemporary DIY mentality. Their sound balances between lo-fi indie and bedroom art-pop, with hints of ambient and post-punk. The result is music that captures the irony, struggles, and yearnings of being young in the modern era. This year, they released their debut album, Ironic Songs for a Sincere Generation—which they call their most dynamic and honest work to date
