Petticoat is the moniker of 24-year-old David Halsey. The LA-via-Bay Area artist writes, produces, and sings on his records. A delightful melding of 80s new wave and experimental club music, the songs explore themes like gender expression and the 21st-century condition. "I love the music from eras that have had an eye towards futurism," Halsey says. "Things like 2000s RnB and modern club/pop music." These affinities come through in Halsey's sound, which evokes nostalgia while maintaining a sharply contemporary feel.
