When I heard that members of Comet Gain, Crystal Stilts, and the Ladybug Transistor were collaborating on a record to be released this year, I became very excited. Wild fantasies began to swirl through my mind of a dark, cinematic swirl of twisted surf pop, and razor sharp garage rock anthems.
They would call themselves Cinema Red and Blue, and even that name just sounded perfect for such a collaboration. Much to my delight, everything that I imagined about this project to be has proven correct.
Check out Cinema Red and Blue’s cover of the Vic Goddard song “Same Mistakes.”
I could spend the next few days trying to expound on the similarities between Cinema Red and Blue and the principle songwriter David Feck’s main band Comet Gain but, instead, I’ll just say that this is just one in a long line of records featuring Feck that leaves me marveling his ability to make every inch of every record sound cool, pure, and like the ultimate love letter to music nerds everywhere.
