ANIMA!, Diatom Deli, & Roo
ANIMA! are an alternative indie electronic duo formed of the best parts of Arielle Vakni and Vicente Espi who originate from California and South Africa. Their enchantingly iconic vocal and unique cerebral beat boutique has fast become a favorite alt-indie electronic alongside their inspirations like Sylvan Esso and Little Dragon; who first inspired their formation.
Their 2023 album “Not At This Time” features their powerful female vocal, uplifting beats and their signature colorful sound world that they have become most celebrated for. Spanning styles of indie pop, indie rock, lo-fi, synth-pop, and retro beats; it’s an incredibly expansive, colorful and fun album to love. New tracks Pop Stars, Melting Colors and I Don’t Give A show an act that’s never sitting at the norm and questioning you to do the same. There’s something deeply refreshing in each track, with something you will have not heard before and artwork that will keep you looking into a deeper narrative.
Diatom Deli Taos-based artist Diatom Deli, or Delisa Paloma-Sisk, is an experimental multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who began her devoted musical career in 2015 with the release of her debut album Feelsounds, and second album TQM (Te Quiero Mucho) in 2018. Her work is driven by ethereal sonic experimentation that comprises hypnotic loops, bright samples, and subtle melodies. Diatom Deli has evolved as a project over the past six years while Deli traveled around the country delivering powerful performances utilizing classical guitar, layered harmonies, synths, and samples to catalyze celestial soundscapes and an immersive, transcendent experience. A diatom is a microscopic organism that helps humans and the environment maintain equilibrium, and Deli’s emblematizes this mechanism in her music through harmonic transmissions that recalibrate the spirit towards deeper renewal.
Roo is an ethereal electronic musician based in Taos, NM.
