to look into our Cristobal and predict a debut ep on City Slang that tickles Gilles Peterson’s palate, has a similar psychedelic, world influenced pop sound to Super Furry Animals (but from warmer climes), and will leave listeners bewildered and appreciative of their many influences.

Cristobal and the Sea are a four piece from all over Europe, but in great musical tradition, have rooted here in the best goddamn city in the world (soz rest of world). Their big lo-fi sound suggests mad geniuses at work. That may just turn out to be true.

My Love (Ay Ay Ay) is out on December 8. Make it your new love.
