Baltimore’s own electronic wizard CEX is set to release a new album Tiny Creatures, and here is the first single off of said LP: “Megamuse”.  It’s a glitched out, redundant-in-a-way-that-gets-in-your-head track that’s a mix between electronic and psychedelic.  The more i listen to it the more it crawls under my skin and gets comfy.

The single comes out january 25th, and includes various remixes, and the full LP is to follow sometime later this year. Above is the video edit, for the full 7 minute opus, check out the soundcloud stream below.

Sadly, my streak of 7 straight coachella festival attendances will be snapped this year (for good reason: a friends wedding), but it’s still worth  noting this years lineup is out today.  Nothing monumental here in terms of reunions, but a solid group in the non-headliner fine print.  If anyone goes, let us know how it is…

This album has been on repeat for me every day for about 2 weeks now. Take everything Destroyer has done in the past and add a little bit of lounge, a little bit of jazz, and a little bit of Hall & Oates… but it’s still weird like Dan Bejar is. The album is great and even features a little ‘saxomophone’. Favorite Song: “Savage Night At The Opera” – sounds like something from Tears for Fears.

This has been a band that has been in and out of my radar all year. Catchy songs with quirky guitar hooks, This should be a pretty good show for only $8. Talking Head.
