Xixa – Kvmbia Okvlt (Weekly Music Roundup)

The band Xixa is from Arizona, and their music is a mix of Latin, goth rock, and the sort of psychedelic haze that comes not from LSD but from spending too much time out in the desert. Twangy deserted guitar lines, strange lyrical imagery, and a shuffling cumbia rhythm all come together in this track from Xixa’s brand new release. That EP is called The Code, and this song is "Cvmbia Okvlt". It’s one of the stranger items in our Weekly Music Roundup.
