Friday is release day for the new single ‘Misunderstanding’ from Sacramento-based outfit CREUX LIES, bringing in their alluring mix of dark pop and alternative rock. This dark, sexy, danceable track demonstrates how the band became so beloved on the post-punk and cold wave scenes in just a short time.

In autumn, the band will release their second full-length album ‘Goodbye Divine’ via Freakwave, a Berlin-based label that is part of the Schubert Music Europe group.

NYC’s Big Takeover Magazine writes, “Feeling half like a sonic quest, like a yearning for something, and half like they have all the answers already, ‘Misunderstanding’ presents a fine mix of guitar-laced electropop (think early New Order and Depeche Mode) and darker hues familiar to Clan of Xymox, Section 25 and more modern peers like ACTORS and She Past Away.”
