We do our darnedest to keep things fresh and run a mixed bag of content on this blog, but every now and then we get a case of the broken records about us and keep coming back to certain artists. Portugal. The Man, Charli XCX, Major Lazer, Blood Orange, Oscar Key Sung & FKA Twigs are all names that are constantly on high rotation around these parts but with quality like that can you really blame us?
Another artist that is climbing the leader board for most appearances here on Cool Accidents is Melbourne singer songwriter Chela and her super rad brand of alt-disco-pop business.
She dropped an absolute corker of a single Romanticise on French label Kitsuné Maison last year and they obviously liked what she was putting down as she’s back for round two with her Zero EP set to drop next week (March 10).
In anticipation of the release, Chela flexed her DJ skills and turned in an awesome minimix featuring jam after jam crammed into the space of 6 minutes - Aaliyah, Carly Simon, Ratatat, Friends, Caribou, Blood Orange, Depeche Mode as well as a few other bits of cool shit we didn’t know.
