Two Feet in Philadelphia

About Two Feet

Two Feet (William Strickland) emerged from the Brooklyn electronic scene with a distinctly minimal approach to pop production. His breakthrough came with the sparse, haunting track 'Go,' which built from almost nothing into something genuinely gripping—that restraint became his signature. Working primarily alone in the studio, he constructs songs from fragmented vocals, analog synths, and plenty of empty space. Tracks like 'Rocket' and 'She Keeps Me Up' showcase his ability to make loneliness sound sonically compelling rather than mopey. His music sits in that uncomfortable middle ground between bedroom pop and indie rock, favoring atmosphere over catchiness. Two Feet doesn't try to fill every frequency; instead, he lets the silence do work.

Two Feet's sets are understated and deliberate. He moves through songs with minimal banter, letting the sparse production hit harder in a room. Crowds tend toward attentive rather than rowdy—people actually listen. The energy is more hypnotic than explosive, which means dead air feels intentional rather than awkward.

Two Feet + Philadelphia

Two Feet hasn't exactly flooded Philadelphia's venues, but when they showed up at Xfinity Live in October 2018, they kept things lean and intentional. The set moved through their catalog with purpose—'Back of My Mind' and 'I Feel Like I'm Drowning' hit different in a room packed tight, while deeper cuts like 'Quick Musical Doodles' showed they weren't interested in playing it safe. They closed on a note of pure spite with 'Go Fuck Yourself,' which felt appropriately defiant for a band that's always done things their own way.
