Brian Leeds (born April 20, 1991),[1] better known by the pseudonyms Pendant, Huerco S., Loidis, and Royal Crown of Sweden, is an American independent electronic musician.[2] Born in Emporia, Kansas, United States,[1] he is considered a pioneer in the genre of outsider house, a more experimental and lo-fi form of deep house. His recent work has abandoned outsider house in favour of an ambient sound. His music has received attention from, among others, The Fader,[3] FACT Magazine[4] and Tiny Mix Tapes, the latter of whom awarded his 2018 album Make Me Know You Sweet with the "Eureka!" rating of 4 out of 5.[5]
