The movement commonly known as "Trip Hop" produced some of the best records of the 90s, but it never managed to produce new artists whose output kept up with the outstanding quality of those early records. Fronted by soulful singer Jolanda Porter, NYC band Wishes and Thieves create music which follows on the steps of the genre’s fathers and mothers, with a slightly more alt-pop approach, and have been compared to the likes of Portishead and Sneaker Pimps for their edgy, electronic female vocal-driven sound. The band released their debut EP, "Lighthouse" this summer and will be releasing their second EP this fall. You can see them live at Rockwood Music Hall on 09.30.
