I am really glad to be back on El Gore to talk about a debut album that I, as a huge fan of the London-based quartet, had been eagerly awaiting: Sugar Now by Cristobal and the Sea!

Kali Uchis – Por Vida
Kali Uchis is an exciting Colombian artist raised in the USA who has been around since 2012 when her first mixtape dropped, but has only moved into the spotlight in 2014 following the release of the first single off her first LP Por Vida.

Cristobal And The Sea – Peach Bells
In my book, there is nothing more enriching to music than pure, unadulterated fun and soul. The London-based boys and girl of Cristobal And The Sea have both of these qualities down to a science, and it’s been a long time since I’ve been as fervently enamored with a recent release as I am with […]

As the name suggests, Mysteries have a deliberately enigmatic presence. I […]
Trash Monday CXXXV
If you believe the recent controversies surrounding this guy, “WDGAF” is far from the worst thing he has ever spawned. Still, it’s… unfortunate. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIcn7hqw8QA&]
Trash Monday CXXIX
Not technically a music video, but still the most hilarious artistic display I’ve encountered in a long, long time. 3:26 and 5:04 is when shit gets real. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLzgFkouSmc]
Each Other – Being Elastic
Ladies and gentlemen, today I bring you unconventionally charming indie rock by Each Other all the way from Montreal! I’ve only recently discovered their 1-and-a-half-year-old Heavily Spaced and have been listening to the small collection relentlessly for the past weeks. Upon further research, I found out that the guys released a LP entitled Being Elastic […]
