A warming accumulation of Spanish, Portuguese, Corsican and British melodies entwined in a beatdown, sunkissed. Tropicana pop manner; Cristobal & The Sea are here to rescue your summer blues and drench you in SPF worthy ditties.
Sugar Now begins with the dreamy slithers of Counting Smiles, a Western folk extravaganza that audibly sparkles with ethereal flutes and European string instruments, all left raw and untouched by editing, producing a stripped down and evocative style.
Flowing through to the floaty vibes of Fish Eye, exhibiting elements of Crystal Fighters and Los Campesinos!, to Legs Gone Feather, which instils a haunting tribal hiatus, the album boasts the band’s ability to sustain a diverse quality, yet create daring musical dimensions within it.
