Cristobal and the Sea share new Moscoman remix of recent single 'Goat Flokk'


Berlin via Tel Aviv artist Moscoman reworks the lead single from Cristobal and the Sea's upcoming album!

After recently announcing their new album 'Exitoca', which is a comment on Brexit and other recent political happenings, Cristobal and the Sea have shared a rework of the lead single by Berlin via Tel Aviv artist Moscoman'Goat Flokk' is taken from the band's upcoming album, which is due Sept 22nd via City Slang. 

Cristobal and the Sea's 'Goat Flokk' is a balearic disco trip on acid; now international man of mystery Moscoman has given it an overhaul and turned it into what sounds like the start of a North African goth movement. 

For Cristobal and the Sea, expatriates from Portugal, Spain, France, Egypt  & USA, now based in London, the idea of Exotica is more than just an escapist plot to avoid workaday drollery; it is a proposed evacuation from the toxic mires of Brexit; the very notion that threatens the place they now call home. Their current political situation endangers access to their very art and lifestyle, which is commonly the pressure required for musicians to produce great work.

Exitoca’ is a trip into an alternative reality where humans care for each other and the environment, value sensual experiences and dance their troubles away.
 
The title is a reference to the genre known as Exotica, which represented the escapist dreams of a generation of American salary-men and housewives in the 50s and 60s. Their desire was to move to an uncomplicated Pacific paradise; something that captured their own creative needs rather than the actual physical environment they found themselves in. Cristobal and the Sea's ‘Exitoca’ is the attempt to free that dreamer movement from the grips of it’s privileged background and reclaim it for those who need it most now.
  
‘Exitoca espouses Cristobal and the Sea's principle tenet: they call everyone to embrace mystical otherness and accept the virtues of foreignness.
  
Recorded in a self-made studio on the outskirts of Paris, the band enlisted the help of Yehan Jehan to produce the album for them. Born in North London to musical Bosnian parents, Jehan began recording and producing in his bedroom from the age of 14, combining ten years of musical development through classic funk, hip-hop, psych rock, rock‘n’roll and 60s/70s film music into an intoxicating ultramodern stew. “I’ve been composing since I was really little,” Jehan says. “Production for me is just as important as the song, it can go so many ways.”
   
Cristobal and the Sea's Balearic roots are inseparable from their essence. The bossa anthem ‘Uma Voz’ is a reach out to everyone in their situation, a passionate and all-encompassing hand to everyone facing the same nationless situation. If only Theresa May's quote “If you think you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of nowhere” were sifted through a Buddhist filter, it would be the kernel of wisdom. Oh well, Socrates said, “I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world” and the band invites you to decide whom you would trust more.
