#21 Hundred Waters - "Xtalk"

Introducing Hundred Waters from Gainesville, FL. They are a 4 person band headed by the lovely Nicole Miglis, whose tiny frame but beautiful voice would almost be enough to listen to them right off the break. Their 2014 album The Moon Rang Like A Bell is easily Top 10 record of the year and Pitchfork almost agreed, ranking it #38 on their albums of the year chart.

The band is signed to Skrillex’s record label but don’t let that discourage you, for they are not big beat, dubstep or hooky at all really. In fact, the 2 songs of theirs that made the top 100 (one more is on the way!) are almost old school Tori Amos feeling, but with a newer and more electronic edge.

I saw them open for Interpol back in November and they almost stole the show. As I said before, Hundred Waters has 2 songs in the Top 25 and something tells me that one of them made the Top 10!
They didn't make a video for this song so here is them performing it at Pitchfork Music Festival this year.
