If you hail from Argentina, Barcelona or London then you’ve probably heard of the world-traveling mastermind behind Cineplexx, Sebastián Litmanovich. For those of you still trying to pronounce that last name and have never heard of this band, well that is what the Lovely Hearts Club is here for! It is our pleasure to finally share with you the teaser video of ‘Cosas de la Vida Normal’ and intro track on Cinplexx’s upcoming album “Perfume” available October 2012. Sebastian has posted a series of self-made teaser videos on his youtube channel to promote the new album and prove what a brilliant artist he truly is.

 

In Teaser #1, these four palabras (that’s Spanish for “words”) – Rimto, Palomitas, Locura y Deporte, overlay footage from a house party set in the late 60′s sending hints of a psychedelic, disco infused album. If you’re worried that you won’t understand the music because it is in Spanish, fear not, because the universal language of good indie pop will conquer all and you will surely find yourself compelled to swing your hips and snap those fingers while streaming ‘Cosas de la Vida Normal’ in full here.

 

Cineplexx’s sound reaches far and wide not only geographically but in the genre of music that has influenced Sebastian’s writing since the inception of the band in 1998. Several albums (check out the full discography here) have been released over the past decade including “Nuevahola”, which is a compilation of new, old and unreleased songs giving us a taste of his best bits. We hope you find comfort in this familiar yet completely foreign musical encounter as it proves that there will always be refreshing new music to discover no matter how bored you are with the current music trends. Cineplexx plans to be back in the US soon with a full tour supporting the release of “Perfume” later this year. Stay tuned for more details and the release of official music videos from the upcoming album!

We first had the pleasure of championing this act a few years ago around his video parody of Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air where Shad plays the part of Will Smith.  Since then, Shad’s career has picked up quickly, now with a new record TSOL out on Black Box Music in Canada and Decon Records in the US.

Having just finished up a North American tour with K-OS, and heading off to Europe in a few weeks (see dates on your left), Shad’s style of hip-hop is far from traditional.  Incorporating elements of humor, irony, intellect, and instrumental brilliance into both his live show and recordings, Shad’s splash has already hit home with the likes of Pitchfork, URB, and OkayPlayer to name a few, but we still like to think of ourselves as the true discoverers of this Canadian hip-hop anomaly ;)

A big shout out to Shad’s bandmate, DJ T-LO who has a slew of awards for his scratching abilities across the globe and to his management at The Faculty Of who are just amazing people.

We saw Shad premier his new video for the single, “We, Myself, and I” in Toronto during TIFF week and can’t seem to get enough of it!  Check it out for yourself, along with the Fresh Prince parody titled “The Old Prince” below:
