Fresh Chops: Cristobal and the Sea

29th Sep 2014

There’s a relentless wave of psychedelia pounding our inbox (oh shush, filthy mind) at the moment but this one from Cristobal and the Sea stood out as something a little bit more interesting than the regular offerings.

‘My Love (Ay Ay Ay)’ is an uptempo splicing of Brazilian bossa-nova and trippy 60’s era Americana that results in a glorious South-American trip which leaves you reeling, a bit like watching Scarface if Pacino was dealing LSD rather than coke (“say hello to my fourth dimensional friend made of rainbows”).

Perfectly captured on their forthcoming debut by Brooklyn producer, Rusty Santos (Animal Collective, Vashti Bunyan, Grizzy Bear), this multicultural mélange is bags of fun and wonderfully catchy.

Their debut EP ‘Peach Bells’ will be released on Dec 8th through City Slang.
