CXLVMBIA - Me and You
CXLVMBIA (pronounced Columbia) are a Fife alt rock group turned synth pop duo.
The duo have a broad range of influences which is made clear in the music and are continuously aiming to keep the listener guessing by combining and contrasting styles while ultimately writing catchy songs that make people feel something.
Their new single Me & You, produced by Mark Morrow, is the follow up single to last year’s EP XV and was released on Friday 30 October.
Now for a band who took their name from an Oasis track Me & You could not be any further removed from indie rock, it will ensure they stand out from bands of the same name.
The track is a synth pop banger, it has some pounding drums and shimmering synths it was giving out a definite OMD vibe.
It’s rich bass and the harmonised vocals sit well and give the track a real ear worm of a melody, it is is rich in sound and spins around in your head forever.
Lyrically, it’s a love song about a relationship that develops between the two protagonists echoed in the words of the opening verse “I was looking at my photographs of you, you were seventeen I was twenty two, we were so young we didn’t have a clue that we would grow old together just me and you”.
And fades out to the words “yeah we grow old together just me and you”.
Me & You has some retro 80’s vibes but the guys have given it a modern twist to keep it contemporary and it’s a heart warming ear worm of a song to raise the spirits in what has undeniably been a horrendous year.
CXLVMBIA are set to release a follow up single next year and I’m looking forward to hearing a lot more from them in the future and they are yet another band I want to see live as soon as possible.
