Badly Drawn Boy and Belle and Sebastian

Damon Gough, aka Badly Drawn Boy, from Bolton, England, is acclaimed for his intricate pop and heartfelt lyrics, akin to Nick Drake and John Lennon. Debuting with the Mercury Prize-winning "The Hour of Bewilderbeast," and notable for the "About a Boy" soundtrack, he collaborated with artists like Thom Yorke and Richard Ashcroft. Known for hits like "Once Around the Block" and "You Were Right," and albums like "Have You Fed the Fish?" and "Born in the U.K.," Gough returned with "Banana Skin Shoes" in 2020 after a hiatus, blending vintage sounds with alt-hip-hop.

Glasgow’s Belle and Sebastian, formed in 1994, are indie pop pioneers known for lush chamber pop, hits like "I'm a Cuckoo," acclaimed albums, and collaborations with Tracyanne Campbell.
