Brand new electronic duo HVLLOWZ may have an unpronounceable name, but we find their soulful downtempo extremely appealing. Their debut, self titled EP came out just two months ago and is at times reminiscent of the intensely dark early Portihead records – minus the hip hop factor. Programmer DJ Wallstreet sticks to minimalistic and atmospheric arrangements, complementing singer and songwriter Skela’s sultry vocals and preference for slow tempos. The band will be performing liva at Union Pool tonight within the Audiofemme’s Northside Festival show, opening a bill featuring other noteworthy local electronic acts like ONWE, Leverage Models, and Of Clocks and Clouds.
