Danny Brown, Superchunk, Charli XCX Rock Out in Brooklyn

FUSE TV - Danny Brown, Superchunk, Charli XCX Rock Out in Brooklyn

The artists behind three of the year's best albums—Charli XCX, Superchunk and Danny Brown—all gathered Tuesday night at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg, where they represented three disparate genres: electro-pop, old-school indie rock and new school hip hop. They all had one thing in common, though: They rocked, hard.

Hosted by comedian Hannibal Buress, SPIN's Year in Music Party served as a chance for music journalists of all stripes—from Rookie to Rolling Stone, Fuse to Idolator and beyond—to relax and rub elbows over free drinks. First up on the bill: Charli XCX, who broke out earlier this year with "I Love It," the track she sang on and wrote for Swedish duo Icona Pop

The hit track is also how many casual music fans know Charli best, but she's much, much more. Her set was the night's highpoint. Dressed in a plastic skirt and over jacket, a tank top underneath and four-inch platform shoes, the 21-year-old newcomer was part goth, part '90s raver and part Piccadilly Circus punk rocker as she led an all-girl three-piece band in tracks from her new album, True Romance

The music matched her look: shadowy, lusty electronic washes paired with throbbing grooves, all delivered with maximum ferocity with Charli whipping her hair wildly and even twerking. The crowd bounced and sang in unison for "You - Ha Ha Ha" and lost it for a cover of "I Love It." And there's more to look forward to; Charli closed with super catchy, bubbly-upbeat new single "SuperLove" from her upcoming sophomore album, expected in March of next year.
