Out June 16 on [...]

After making waves alongside  The Jane Doze with their remix  of NERVO's "Reason," Cash Cash return with an energetic spin on the LA-based electropop-tandem, Capital Cities.

Crisply produced electro progressions, a chirpy robotic top-line and blaring horn sections flesh out the mix, leaving behind an energetic symbiosis of progressive and electro.
