Matching Outfits are a trio of adopted Berliners whose warped, wistful take on indie pop has been compared to "a Super 8 film from the family attic" (Tip Magazine). The lyrics of Swedish frontwoman Linnea Mårtensson capture life's major losses and minor inconveniences in gut-wrenching, occasionally hilarious detail, while bright keyboard chords and dulcet three-part harmonies morph into discordant freakouts and shout-along choruses. In 2022, the group released its debut album Band Made Out Of Sand on Berlin cassette label Kitchen Leg. Among other honors, it received heavy play on cult US radio station WFMU, which invited the "bunch of goofballs" (their words) to record a Syd Barrett cover for a fundraising compilation. The band does not wear matching outfits, except when they do.

Slipper was formed in 2019 by songwriters Sean Armstrong and Rachel Taylor, but it became what felt like a real band when they were joined by Jakub Tyro-Niezgoda in 2020. Using guitar, bass, drums, and vocal harmonies, they conjure a sound of their own that is simple and true. They record, mix, and release their own music between Berlin and Warsaw.
