Confusing Mix Of Nations

Confusing Mix of Nations is the debut album from CMON, the Los Angeles pairing of Josh da Costa and Jamen Whitelock, the duo formerly at the helm of Regal Degal. Each of the LP’s ten tracks reads like a postcard from a different aesthetic era. It’s an album of pop ambition that understands “pop” to be a state of mind, not a state of sales: It’s the deceptively deep sound that goes straight to your body.
