IMAGE:mix Contest!

Here at image:music:texts, we like to cover good music, but we'd also like to celebrate art and photography as well. So, this is a shout-out to all artists, illustrators, photographers, and enthusiasts, and fans:

Send us an image of what you feel captures the spirit of electronic music in NYC. We will choose one and construct an hour-long mix in the theme of the winning image, the first in our IMAGE:mix series. 

Submit your images to us at imagemusictexts@gmail.com; we'll be taking submissions until June 1st. 

In the meantime, for some inspiration check out some of Tessa Farmer's incredible artwork for Amon Tobin's ISAM here, and our review of the album here.

Cults // Abducted

Cults 7", the massively catchy and roundly lauded debut from Cults, made for nostalgic, love-lorn whistling all of last year. The exceptional cuts, "Go Outside," and "Oh My God," in particular, brought the million-watt bulb of online press attention to bear on the rapidly exposed, considered, and swiftly loved duo. This week, they made the leap one craves from any well-received group: a decisive (but not wholesale) shift away from the whimsical naivety of their early tracks. The 70's-sunshine-infected "Abducted"--off their Cults LP, slated for June 7th via In the Name Of/ Columbia Records--marries touches of folk, pop, and electronic in a feel-good, synth-glazed lament for these young spring days.
