FEiN is an alternative duo from Los Angeles with a sound similar to Portugal. the Man, St. Vincent, and Mother Mother. The duo met while pursuing music at USC . They’ve toured nationally, performed at the Sunset Strip Music Festival, and played live on the nationally broadcast Artie Lange Show. They feel equally at home busking on a street corner as a duo or performing in a theater with a full band. “The LA duo has a way of making music that keeps you coming back for more. With this EP, FEiN continues to create a distinct sound that blends their wide array of analog talents with synth-pop tendencies that’ll make you turn up the stereo (or maybe just the volume on your laptop?)” – Beating Lights Blog

Kings favorite Stockholm act Violet Days just released a new track ‘So Dope‘. Artists like Imogen Heap and Natalie Walker come to mind. She was nominated “Rookie Songwriter/Producer of the year” at the Denniz Pop Awards. Scandipop notes “A down-tempo electro ballad with a melody that doesn’t just tug on the heart strings – it pulls them out, rips them apart, and uses them to tear your ears open while you listen to this on a continuous loop in floods of tears.”
