Amy Arani and Delaney Gibson bring electropop to its most captivating and sensory-stimulating with their duo act, Signy. Evoking shades of Sia, Lana Del Rey, and Massive attack- Signy focuses on the beauty found in electro soundscapes. Hypnotic melodies and infectious beats emanate from these two sirens who aren't afraid of bringing an element of force into their live performances. Signy's debut single, "Human", is a tidal wave of emotion crashing into an addictive beat and is the leadoff for their upcoming album, WATER. Clearly this duo has their sights set on bigger stages to maximize appeal, but for now Austin can enjoy these local upstarts before they ascend into the stratosphere.
