Today we take a transglobal trip, jet-setting between Mexico and Berlin in search of Conjunto Musical Costa Bella . CMCB was recently included on the Back To Basics maxi single from Mexican synth rock act Lost Mapaches , with a cover of their track. Truthfully, it's a million times better than the original. The female vocals swing along in that same breezy, carefree style heard in Cults' big hit, "Go Outside". Backed by Latin horns and tropical rhythms, it's a radiant blast of sunshine, and a thoroughly addictive [...]

Cream Team is proud to be one of the blogs involved with The Rumble, and we hope you'll stop through for a drink and a night of music from The Great Society Mind Destroyers , [...]

In preparation for the June 21 release of debut full-length LP Konkyle , Danish quartet When Saints Go Machine have unveiled the video for album track, "Add Ends". The video tells the story of an elderly man with the power to heal by touch. Using surrealist imagery and narrative, director Dawn Carol Garcia speaks to the overall mood of Konkyle— a space where the imagination transcends the frailty of being human. "Add Ends" is a cherubic and optimistic close to an album that sounds like Arthur [...]
Lone (Matt Cutler) goes hard on Echolocations , his newly released EP on R&S . Intricate drum patterns charge through a sparkling future Fantasia. Metallic tones clang about, forming catchy hooks out of wordless beats. Cosmic synths incite an overexcited, bounce off the walls happiness explosion. Echolocations is out now on vinyl, and digitally April 11 via R&S . Lone - Dolphin
This rather severe looking fellow dressed as Ian Curtis above is 22-year-old Essex producer Lapalux (Stuart Howard), and someone to get very excited about. On his process, Howard says, "I like to have a photo or a picture of something near me when I write music. I see an image and turn it into music." It's a statement that makes complete sense when you listen to his compositions. Howard speaks in the language of environments. His music evokes the imagination, conjuring up imagery of a forest floor turning green at spring's first warmth, of curious [...]

Lonely Galaxy's sullen, shoelace gazing melodies crawl by, sounding like the theme music for the day your dog died, your girlfriend left you and you didn't get into the only art school you applied to. Like Perfume Genius , Lonely Galaxy is one young man, sitting at the piano, singing lyrics of internal anguish. But where emotion manifests itself as fragile in Perfume Genius's music, Lonely Galaxy is a confident balladeer, whose rich voice sweeps broadly across tearful instrumentation. He's the shut your bedroom door and sob so loud the bed frame [...]

From the start screen, head right eight screens and up one screen. Now you're on the edge of Hyrule, water to the east, trees to the west. Enter the cave and you're greeted by a shopkeeper. He gives you the option of purchasing a shield, bombs or a bow and arrow. But you know there's something more to be found here. This is the place. "Take me away from the Overworld," you tell the shopkeeper, hoping he gets the hint. He squints surprised, and sizes you up. He opens a drawer and pulls out a small burlap sack. "Go stand [...]
Instrumental hip-hop meets Serge Gainsbourg on You're Under Arrest (Detournement d'Art Mineur) , a musical project from French producer Saneyes . Before "sampling" had a name, Gainsbourg was including clips from his favorite classical composers in his songs, and You're Under Arrest pays homage to the early innovator, splicing Gainsbourg originals into a lost radio frequency of broken beats. Short cuts whirl together, mixing up a dizzy sonic stew. Tucked somewhere amongst the layers is a magnet whose pull you can't escape. [...]

I've been told there's a craze sweeping New York City. Enter through the back door and ascend the stairs. Dance like zombies to slo-mo disco under a mirror ball with your best friend ketamine. Much thanks to Benoit & Sergio for providing an anthem for zonked nightcrawlers. The DC duo have been sporadically releasing tracks since 2009, and "Walk & Talk" (on label Visionquest ) is steadily worming its way into hazy heads coast to coast. The pace is slowed to a crawl. Repetitive tones of minimal techno mix [...]
Dark pop duo My Gold Mask are one of our favorite Chicago bands. They've just returned from SXSW and join quirky Brighton, UK electropop act Fujiya & Miyagi tomorrow night at new venue The MID . DFA's Shit Robot and local Darkwave Disco DJ Greg Corner round out the night. We're giving away one pair of tickets to the first reader to email the address below. (Please note that the [...]
Three tracks to their name and Supreme Cuts has become the most exciting new group on my horizon this year. Their latest, "Issues," was posted this morning and it might be better than "Amnesia," or at least more broadly appealing. Most importantly, the above artwork is actually a fantastic representation of the track, if you can wrap your dome around that. Guys, I'm saying, get on this shit before Pitchfork tries to make up a silly genre name for it. Supreme Cuts got "Issues".
Have you ever fallen for someone your total opposite? Someone who wants you back, but you just can't have. If you ever fucked, your world, their world would crumble. And so your relationship becomes one of intensity and deliberate distance. The moments you're around one another are electric until the plug is pulled abruptly; a shared stare equates to a wordless agreement that you're about to go too far. Canadian R&B outfit The Weeknd encapsulate the complexities (and consequences) of desire on their debut mixtape House Of Balloons. Vacant echoes form a narcotic haze. You [...]
