When Justin Cefai met photographer and vocalist Rebekkah Castellanos in February 2012 they formed an amateur song-writing project which later evolved into their band Xolo (pronounced 'show-low'). After a self-titled EP and their debut album Future Home, released in July 2014, yesterday they unveiled their new single called 'Moonless'. Their melodic dream pop sounds beautifully blend with Rebekkah's delicate vocals to form a melancholic and hypnotizing song. Check it out below.
You can say that the name 'femme fantasm' refers to a female creature that exists only in a person's mind. However, LA's visual artist and musician, Lauren Lunette, uses it to describe her envisionment of music. Created as a solo project in the spring of 2014, Femme Fantasm gave us a sneak peak of her music shortly before the year had expired. 'Ghostdance' and 'Phantasmagoria' were the two songs that immediately drew our attention and had us asking for more. Yesterday she released her debut EP on French indie label Beko Disques, just in time to prove that her long-awaited EP was not a figment of our imagination. 'Ritual You+Me' and 'Moon Weather' are two new songs that add to Femme Fantasm's musical spectrum. Sensual vocals combined with vibrant 80's inspired synth sounds take you on a kaleidoscopic musical journey. Listen and prepare yourselves to dive into the psychedelic, colourful part of your imagination.
