Music Millennium

Confusing Mix of Nations is the debut album from CMON, the Los Angeles pairing of Josh da Costa and Jamen Whitelock. Each of the ten tracks reads like a postcard from a different aesthetic era, from the heavy atmospherics and melancholic soul reminiscent of Regal Degal, the duo's prior project, to the four-on-the-floor EBM rhythm grids and sublime AOR guitar lines picked from pop's outer limits.
