Coachella Artists of the Day: Jan. 21, 2026

The Two Lips

Origin: Los Angeles, California, USA

Genre / Subgenres: Pop / Indie Pop, Dream pop, Bedroom pop

Best friends Jewlz and Andrea were both solo artists who wrote and produced in their own personal spaces before recognizing that collaborating was much easier. This led to a path of prosperity, including viral hits on digital platforms, selling out iconic Los Angeles venues like The Troubador and the El Rey, and eventually opening for Sabrina Carpenter in London. Their sound is sweet, but it can be devastating. I think they want it to hurt a little. It's also evident that these two are into emotion-forward songwriting, and it forms a sense of gloomy yearning. However, they can still flip it around and wrap you in a warm blanket with their dreamy, washed-out production and smooth vocals.

Performing: Friday

Stage Prediction: Gobi

For Fans of: The Marías, Faye Webster, Clairo

Key Tracks: still love you (todavía) / favorite apple / play

rusowsky

Origin: Valladolid, Spain

Genre / Subgenres: Pop / Alternative pop, Bedroom pop, Indie electronic

rusowsky started out as the man behind the boards, but soon emerged as the man behind the mic and became one of the most interesting figures in Spain's wave of new alternative pop. His pop melodies and soft vocals are layered on top of glitchy, Internet-era production, making him a standout artist for Gen Z who's consistently ahead of the curve. Yes, you could technically describe his sound as "bedroom pop," but from a bedroom on a spaceship on Jupiter in 3026.

Performing: Saturday

For Fans of: Ralphie Choo, ED MAVERICK, Bratty

Key Tracks: malibU / BBY ROMEO (w/ Ralphie Choo) / pink + pink (w/ Ravyn Lenae)
