Outer Shapes is the indie duo Laura Shkouratoff and C Santos, who take care of the power trio instrumentation between the two of them. Their music stays close to the middle ground between indie pop and quirky art pop effectively. A big part of that is their ability to create a strong melodic base to anchor their songs, which they embellish with somewhat edgy instrumentation that provides an additional oomph without undermining that sweet core they have in the middle. Their recordings up to this point suggest a trajectory towards a bolder sound that takes on a more contemporary and exploratory tone. Shkouratoff's vocals are quite expressive, with a delivery that fairly effortlessly swings between indie pop and pop rock.
Composer, bandleader Darcy James Argue's Secret Society ensemble brings a contemporary classical spin to the big band jazz format, an integral part of the orchestral flavor and the intricate textures that define their sound.

Darcy James Argue's Secret Society | the PROPAGANDA site
Darcy James Argue is a composer and bandleader whose work with his 18-piece band Secret Society, though anchored strongly in jazz, also regularly crosses boundaries into classical music and, at times, even post-rock. This is music that is built around compositions, arrangements, and precision in delivery and presentation more than musicians keeping it loose and trading improvised solos. This partially what separates this project from the more traditional swing era big bands, and brings it closer to ensemble work, and in some ways, to the Miles Davis/Gil Evans collaborations of the late '50s. Argue's compositions and arrangements are captivating, and the band produces profoundly satisfying music that is highly nuanced, versatile, passionate, and as transformative as any good piece of music can be.
Alaska Reid's indie rock has a smooth pop overtones, alternating between wistful tones and uptempo pieces with solid guitar action that occasionally hints at '90s vibes.
