CSLSX [MP3] CSLSX: Futuretapes + We Ought To Be Together (Video)
CSLSX are a mysterious collective with a bleak MySpace featuring a few songs and less information than a can of Spam’s nutritional facts. Their official website is even more mysterious, playing on the ever familiar customer service prompts we’ve all endured at some point or the other (it’s a clever way to have your song heard nonetheless). After some digging and emailing, I managed to find out some new information about this experimental group. Based in Philadelphia, CSLSX have satellite members across the United States, as well as, Budapest, Paris, and London, currently. They trade music, musical projects, philosophy and gift each other with criticism. It’s hard to criticize something as lustrous and lovable as “Futuretapes” though:

This song is so glossy, I’m not sure if I should be smiling while I drive down the highway with my hand stretched out the window, surfing the wind or if I should be spiraling down a rabbit hole full of watercolors and neon confetti. Everything works well together – the keys, looped beats, and celestial synths – all embellish vocoder vocals that shift toward the end of the song when a female takes over and totally turns the track in a new direction.

Below you’ll find another track titled “We Ought To Be Together” they just released the other day. Accompanying the MP3 is a trippy video that’s definitely inspired by acid and a super extra double rainbow.
