Flow Festival has booked another set of interesting international and Finnish artists. Goldfrapp's music is a mixture of synthpop, folk, glam rock, ambient, and electronic music. The British duo of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory are releasing their seventh album, Silver Eye, next week. Since its debut album in 2000, Goldfrapp has fearlessly ignored genre boundaries and taken full advantage of Alison's bewitching voice.
US-based Death Grips, one of the most interesting experimental hip hop ensembles in the world right now, is performing at Flow Festival in August. The group's blend of rock, hip hop, dance music and rap with a punk attitude has attracted fans from numerous genres over the years. Critics have been quick to crown Death Grips with the mantle of hip hop's future and have called it the first truly important band of the twenty-first century.
The Afghan Whigs was one of the most significant alternative rock bands of the 90s. Founded in 1986, the cult band's best known songs include Debonair, Gentlemen and Conjure Me. Many of the most popular bands of 2000s name the Afghan Whigs as an influence. The band is releasing a new album on Sub Pop in May.
