The DC music scene is filled to the brim with talented up and coming performers. In an effort to bring attention to the standouts of the DMV, before they make it big, DC Music Review is launching a segment called "On Our Radar". This month, our radar is tuned to the three acts that are making a splash on the local indie scene: Weston SmithTerrakann, and Lake Anna.

Weston Smith playing synths at Songbyrd

Blending dreamy synths with brooding vocals, Weston Smith's latest album release, Deep Slumber, will remind you of a morning where you wake up 30 minutes before your alarm, enveloped in the warmth of your blankets. 

Smith's live set is a journey through those precious minutes, where you stumble in and out of consciousness, unsure of what is real and what is a dream. 

Smith, who plays and records every instrument on Deep Slumber himself, whips out a saxophone solo at the end of his performance. Perhaps a metaphor for an alarm clock, Smith is ready for the room to wake up and put him on their music radar. 

Check out  "Dawn (Pink Interlude)" to see why Smith's bedroom pop is captivating crowds around the DMV.
