Cubic Zirconia "Follow Your Heart" Out Today + Hudson Mohawke Megamix

Posted on Sep 20th, 2011

If you caught Cubic Zirconia live at our Day Off party, you already know that they don’t look or sound like any other band out there. Their amped-up energy and slinky, synthy funk is not to be denied… so of course, we’re proud to drop their debut full-length Follow Your Heart on iTunes today! (The physical release date isn’t until November 29th, but we didn’t want to keep you waiting any longer.)

If you still need some convincing, check out this megamix of FYH tracks put together by the one and only Hudson Mohawke. And peep the video for “Take Me High” (directed by CZ’s own Tiombe Lockhart) after the jump.
