Hailing from Nottingham rather than the city their name suggests, London Grammar make music that can switch between ethereal beauty and catchy pop at the click of a finger. Dominated by the graceful yet powerful vocals of singer Hannah Reid, the trio use minimal instrumentation to craft powerful and poignant pop music. The effect is disconcertingly wonderful—these songs are soothing and soulful in equal measure, but never take the obvious route. Instead, graceful electronic flourishes and turns of phrase mean they're always full of innovative musical textures and melodic surprises.
