Grimes' 4th album, Art Angels (4AD) had prime placement on basically every 2015 End of Year list, with #1 spots from NME, Stereogum, Gorilla Vs. Bear and others. Jon Pareles of the NY Times called the album "a solo tour de force," Stereogum said "In 2015, nothing sounded better," and Rolling Stone called it a "triumph." Time Magazine named "Flesh Without Blood" the #1 song of the year while iTunes named Art Angels the #1 Indie Album of 2015 and it finished out the year at #1 most added on CMJ Radio. In 2015 alone, she graced the covers of The FADER, Nylon, Dazed and Confused, NME, Flare and more.

Of Monsters And Men have come a long way from their native Iceland. They quickly became a phenomenon in 2011 with the quadruple-platinum "Little Talks" and their chart-topping debut, My Head Is An Animal, which has since moved 2 million copies worldwide. This year the band returned with their sophomore album Beneath The Skin which garnered anthemic hits including "Crystals" and "Empire." They have charmed TV audiences with appearances on The "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," "The Graham Norton Show," "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "Good Morning America", and "Saturday Night Live." The group has traveled across the globe performing at sold out iconic venues and festivals including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Coachella, Newport Folk Festival, Osheaga, Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Pukkelpop, Austin City Limits, and Splendour in the Grass, Boston Calling, Sasquatch and more. In the midst of it all, they lent the single "Dirty Paws" to a trailer for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and the iPhone 5 introduction video, "Silhouettes" was featured on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack, "Crystals" selected for Disney Pixar's latest blockbuster The Good Dinosaur, "Thousand Eyes" was used in Netflix's "Jessica Jones" trailer and not to mention an upcoming cameo on HBO's "Game of Thrones." Beneath The Skin debuted #1 on the iTunes Overall Albums Chart and received critical acclaim with Entertainment Weekly calling it "One of the biggest albums of the summer."
