WHAT IT IS: Sven Gamsky, better known as Still Woozy, makes music that’s meant to be comforting. The Portland, Ore.-based artist has long worked out of his home, which has magnified the relaxing energy of his genre-bending production style, with its dewy harmonies, glittery arpeggiations and loping rhythms. The up-and-comer is gearing up for the release of his debut album later this summer.
