1. Bomba De Luz
"Lydia Hoglund is the next big thing." -Dessa
“My Call”
“Phantoms”
“Swear You Away”
"Her (Lydia Hoglund) words convey the ache of an old soul. She unspools her
melodies in big, booming somersaults that sound both effortless and ageless, her
elasitic deliver recalling emotive singer like Jeff Buckley and Sharon Van Etten.” -
