YA ARRO HS Ethereal and otherworldly storytelling A self-proclaimed “New York native, Los Angeles covert”, Ms Yaarrohs combines celestial vocals with drawn-out synths and crashing snares in an intoxicating marriage of otherworldly storytelling and emotional music. She’s a close associate of The Glitch Mob, her voice helping to charm the West Coast trio’s ‘Love, Death, Immortality’ to Number One on both Billboard’s Independent Album and Electronic Album charts, and she’s just released an excellent six-tracker called ‘Flesh & Blood’ on the Mob’s Glass Air imprint. Yaarrohs is a witchy siren from the furtherest reaches of outer space, ready to guide you through the galaxies. S H E L T E R P O I NT Hazy downtempo wooziness WHO THEY? What are they putting in the water in Nottingham? Whatever it is, it’s clearly enough for Coventry-born duo Robin Hearn and Liam Arnold to call it home these days. WH Y SHE LT E R P OIN T ? If delicious low-key electronica is your bag, you’re going to have very happy ears with these guys. Debuting in 2012 with the ‘Forever For Now’ EP, they took their sweet time following it up, but last year’s reappearance with a brace of tracks – the smooth, soulful ‘Serenity’ and ‘Cut Me Loose’ – proved more than worth the wait. TELL US MORE Already onboard the good ship Shelter Point are the likes of Annie Mac, Huw Stephens and Zane Lowe, as well as Notts hotshot Indiana, who invited the pair to support her on her last UK tour. With the ink still drying on a deal with the Space & Time label and having remixed the likes of Mø and Laura Doggett, Shelter Point say that further collaborations should be expected on their debut album. They’re busy working on that as you read.
