Mint Field, Avishag C. Rodrigues, Hamburg

Mexico City based band Mint Field is one of these bands that make it shine. Guided by Estrella del Sol and Sebastian Neyra. Mint Field creates a unique blend of avant dream pop and shoegaze with some touches of trip hop that explores the nostalgia and melancholy of daily life with strong guitars and voices that are like sighs. Instrumentation and atmospheres are accompanied by delicate, harmonious and ethereal voices that are a fundamental part of the sound.

New York-based multi-instrumentalist and artist Avishag Cohen Rodrigues, guitarist of New York’s all-female punk collective cumgirl8 (4AD). Rodrigues’ music is intricate yet raw; aloof, detached, yet vulnerable. Drawing upon rock, low fi, dark electronic, noise, and experimental, Rodrigues tells sonic stories of raw electronic landscapes intercut with bold, cutting guitars and dark minimal vocals.
