The Ringling and SRQ Arts Presenters Presents:

Firstworld // MIAMI //
Firstworld is the moniker for South Florida artist/producer Kris Alvarez. Firstworld began as an outlet for Alvarez to write darker, more lofi songs than what he was producing for his band at the time Sigh Kicks. After Sigh Kicks split, Firstworld became Alvarez's main project. Firstworld's debut self-titled single has been featured on indie music blogs such as BIRP.FM and Indie Shuffle, as well as on Spotify's Fresh Finds playlist. Firstworld's sound is likened to chillwave, reminiscent of early Washed Out and Toro y Moi.

Caegan Quimby's garage-prog tangles with Josh Scheible's soul fusion over the assertive and intricate rhythm stylings of David Baker (bass) and Ryan McCarthy (drums). Their two EP's, Are They Dangerous? and Wisdom Tooth are available for streaming or free download at physicalplant.bandcamp.com
