“Cults delivers on the theme of love as a hazard and a harbor. We can all just dance and sway with them, together.” - Daytrotter
Longboard Girls Crew of Madrid
Best use of “Go Outside” by Cults ever (and Essex Green and Eels). What a beautiful short film. Utter hotness and baddassery. Tell me you’re not a little turned on and a bit intimidated.
I don’t often make thematic mixtapes but lately I’ve found myself falling for songs about falling. May seems to be the perfect time of year to have a new crush. There’s something about warming temps and budding trees that makes it easy to fall in love. Maybe it’s that foxy hipster you keep seeing at shows or cravings for a new roll you tried at your favorite sushi joint. My latest crush is my new city - and a mess of bands.
So without further ado, I give you my latest mixtape: Crush.
