CS + Kreme – Orange

CS+Kreme (aka Conrad Standish and Sam Karmel) are back with another round of ritual seance music on Will Bankhead’s Trilogy Tapes. We were lucky enough to hear some of these songs live earlier at our headquarters and have been running Orange on repeat since it was released. While the same hypnotic, experimental electronic sound from Snoopy is present here, this new album is somehow even more intense, with off-kilter beats, harpsichord, organ, cello, flute, chimes, and sampled voices meeting Karmel’s twisted keys/synths and Standish’s singular bass guitar. You can head to the Bandcamp page for detailed descriptions of each track, but we’d like to especially highlight “Would You Like A Vampire” with its looping “Earth is Paradise” refrain from Standish – and none other than UK folk hero Bridget St. John!
