While drawing on the style of a traditional singer-songwriter and elements of indie pop, Clairo crafts a uniquely her own world.

GlassDaniel Avery

A techno artist renowned as the post–Aphex Twin.

As with this work, the way ambient techno tones ride over heavy beats feels fresh.

He spans a wide range—from proper, floor-ready techno to ambient pieces for listening—and even within that variety, you can sense a solid musicality.

His look is cool, too—sleek and sharp—and in that regard, I think he’s quite different from Aphex Twin.
