Karousel Music presents:
SESAC x Karousel East London Showcase
Bloom + Cat Burns + Ella + CALM
This month's SESAC x Karousel Showcase is Thursday 18th April. See below for music.
There's no track to post for Norwegian Twins Ella because it's not quite released - but the fact the track is under lock down should give you an idea of just how cool these guys are. It's a smash waiting to happen. Ace. See you there!

Brighton’s harmonic electro-pop darlings Bloom are in the midst of recording album two following widespread critical acclaim for the first - entirely DIY - record where remarkably they had no team to speak off beyond their loyal fans. Co-fronted by telepathic, harmonising best friends Emily and Megan - Bloom make electronic folk pop using big beats, layered vocals and shimmering synths. Having been picked as one of the acts of 2017 by Richer Sounds Richer Unsigned, and fresh off the back of a live Abbey Road session in February, the new record pushes their ability for deceptive time signatures and intricate melodies all weaved together by lyrics that make you feel you had some best friends out there you never knew about.

Cat Burns is an 18 year-old singer/songwriter based in South London. The Brit School graduate released her first EP at just 15 years old independently and within the first 24 hours it charted at number 11 in the Singer/Songwriter charts.
Cat returns in 2018 with her new single Sober.
Empowering Pop Duo ELLA are identical twin sisters from Norway, singing upbeat catchy tunes you won’t be able to forget.
Consisting of four early twenty-somethings originating from all corners of the UK, CALM combine elements of anthemic nineties Britpop with slick grooves.
The band released their self-produced debut single ‘VIVID’ in October 2018 which was praised by BBC Introducing’s Dave Monks.
Their follow-up single ‘WHAT YOU SAYING’ arrived at the end of November which was again quickly picked up for BBC Introducing airplay and crowned part of BBC Introducing Best of 2018.
