London's CC Honeymoon makes his return in 2019 with a slice of lo-fi, hazy pop.

Parisian duo Double Mixte bring their French chich to the Italians Do It Better imprint. What would be considered a perfect match between the artists and the label, the group's EP plays more like a film soundtrack.

Produced by Johnny Jewel, the EP is another addition to the label's already impeccable discography.
