Willow Beats have quickly become one of our favourite independent electronic acts to break out of Australia. The young duo burst onto the music scene last year with their self-released 'Alchemy' EP which received extensive radio play on Triple J. Blending infectious tribal rhythms with dreamy lyrics, Willow Beats create really chilled out and delicate sounds, that we just can't stop groovin' out too. Their latest EP 'Water' features six amazing new tracks that delve into a deep fantastical world of mystical soundscapes. Our favourite track, 'Merewif', has seen immense praise and acclaim from fans and critics around the globe for it's otherworldly sound and of course Kalyani's beautiful soaring vocals. Be sure to check out their soundcloud for your daily injection of good vibes.
