cineplexx	Aug 20 2008 9:43 AM Lets go Picnic! Picnic, new album! Portia Records, Out now! (US & CA, delivery worldwide) ******************************************** Buenos Aires born, Barcelona resident and graphic artist Sebastian Litmanovich is Cineplexx. With the help of friends Duglas Stewart (BMX Bandits), Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Federico Aubele and Jad Fair, Cineplexx presents Picnic, a gorgeous Spanish-language record of beautiful harmonies and lush instrumentation similar to Belle & Sebastian a la "The Boy with the Arab Strap", the swaying rhythms of Gilberto Gil and tender 60s rock reminiscent of Love and the Zombies. Picnic is a rare treat of a perfect pop record with revelatory songs underneath the album's fuzzy, echoed wash. http://www.myspace.com/cineplexx & http://www.cineplexx.net
