The LA-based collective, an offshoot of Odd Future, blends smooth soul and funk, with chugging drums and slinking bass lines overlaid by front-woman Syd the Kyd's honeyed vocals.

Although they began as a duo, live, The Internet is a six-piece outfit that weaves "complicated drum, bass and guitar solos into honeyed vocal landscapes" - Music Feeds. "(The headline Sydney show) really was something special - Syd poured her saccharine voice into the bundled maze of vibrating instruments. They managed to do all this whilst shooting blasts of magnetic soul-energy into the unsuspecting audience".

The Huffington Post adds, "Smooth jazz rhythms fused with hip-hop sensibilities was a potent combination for the LA outfit".

'Ego Death', The Internet's third album, was released in July last year to widespread acclaim, garnering a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album. The band's most evolved album to date, 'Ego Death' features guest appearances from the likes of Janelle Monae, Vic Mensa and Tyler, the Creator.
