CDSM

As the Sun sets on an ever-heating planet, strange synthesizers converse in the distance, punctured by disco rhythms and interjected by saxophone growls, akin to a jukebox of divine sadistic temptations, oozing goth rock-esque melodies that forever haunt you… You have just been exposed to the groovy sonic onslaught of CSDM, a collective based in Atlanta (GA) that features current and former members of alternative outfits: Material Girls, Neighbor Lady, Mothers and Rose Hotel. Their debut EP Hell Stairs (April 29th, 2022 via Mothland & Exag’) was both glamorous and bleak, swanky and derelict, uplifting and crushing, described by the band as “hedonism clinking in your glass, change jingling in the pit of your chest.” Following the release of “GOGO” amidst a year spent on the road playing all over North America and Europe, Atlanta’s hot new commodity were back with a Halloween offering entitled “DOM” (October 31st, 2023 via Mothland & Exag’ Records), complete with a music video featuring a single sequence shot.
