April + VISTA

DC-based duo April + VISTA are the odd ones out, toting a sound that whisks listeners into a world of their own. April George (violinist, pianist, vocalist, composer) and mattVISTA (producer, bassist, composer) pull from a wildly eclectic range of influences, fusing lush soundscapes and string arrangements with rich textures and mesmeric storytelling.

Their latest EP, You Are Here, was released in 2018 and yielded two juxtaposing singles–the powerful anthem “Own2” and the intimate “How to Get By”. The duo’s dynamic live act has taken them around the world as they’ve toured with heavy-hitters like Little Simz, Little Dragon, and GoldLink. In October 2019, they delivered their newest single, "Every Void", which trades their usual meditative sounds for jagged ends and dark subject matter.
