XYLØ AMERICA

We're not sure if Southern California pair Chase and Paige Duddy are siblings or lovers yet - there's little to no information about them online - but one thing's for certain, their debut track as XYLØ, 'America', shows bags of chemistry. Chase writes the songs and crafts the delicately downbeat atmospherics while Paige utters tender, cotton-spun couplets akin to Broods' Georgia Nott, and the duo follow their Auckland counterparts in tackling love and loss; according to Paige, 'America' is "about a country forcing two people apart." Bleak and beautiful. - DC
