Beach Fossils

Rising to prominence in the 2010s amidst a surge of left-of-center indie pop, Beach Fossils quickly amassed a loyal cult following thanks to its dreamy, far-away sound, grounded by dreary, realist lyricism. Throughout the last fifteen years, they have steadily earned their stature as one of the most definitive and enduring bands emerging from the 2010s New York underground. They consistently reach new listeners thanks to the steady evolution of their sound from the DIY solo project of Dustin Payseur to an influential self-produced four-piece dream pop band, where Payseur is joined by core band members Tommy Davidson (guitar), Jack Doyle Smith (bass), and Anton Hochheim (drums). 

Now, after seven years, this iconic quartet returns to Singapore with new material alongside fan favourite songs, drawing from beloved albums such as the recently-released Bunny (2023), the jangly melancholy of their self-titled 2010 album, the gritty post-punk inspired Class the Truth (2013), and many more. Through tone and mood, Beach Fossils communicate a coming-of-age narrative of self-discovery. Payseur’s slice-of-life lyrics reflect on depression, love, adventure, loss, mistakes, New York City, friendships coming and going—a mélange of granular pieces in the process of continuing to find yourself.

Debuting in 2022, Sun Cell is the solo project of artist/producer Daryl Hor. Drawing from the visceral nature of 80’s new wave and post-punk, Sun Cell explores themes of yearning, retrospection and melancholia. Paired with lush soundscapes and catchy guitar riffs, this results in a sound that invokes both nostalgia for days gone and a yearniang for days to come. In Jan 2025, Sun Cell released his debut album Movements (In The Dark), featuring collaborators such as motifs, Nosedive and xena giam.
