ctrl LIVE: Mint Field [MX] & Avishag Cohen Rodrigues [USA]

Saturday, February 14, 2026 - we’re calling it a double bill, but it’s really a double hit: Mint Field and Avishag Cohen Rodrigues live at Control.
Mexican Mint Field create a unique blend of avant psych shoegaze that explores the nostalgia and melancholy of daily life with complex rhythms, loud, shimmering guitars, and softly sighing vocals.
With 4 studio albums, a live album and 2 EP’s, the band has been praised, highlighted or featured over the years at outlets like NPR, KEXP, Pitchfork, NTS, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan and more. Their 2020 album hit #26 on the NACC (The North American College and Community Radio Chart) Top 200 Charts in October. The band has been featured on Spotify curated playlists such as Dreampop, indiekid, Latin Indie Rising, Undercurrents, Shoegaze Classics and more.

"Mint Field pull from a popular set of ’90s influences - Portishead, Low, Mazzy Star - but they never feel too referential. The group weaves strands of its inspirations together to create their own avant-pop sound. Mint Field are more about conjuring a feeling than spelling out a narrative." Pitchfork

___
Guitarist of New York’s all-female punk collective cumgirl8 (4AD), Avishag C. Rodrigues’ music is intricate yet raw; aloof, detached, yet vulnerable. Drawing upon rock, low fi, dark electronic, noise, and experimental, Rodrigues tells sonic stories of raw electronic landscapes intercut with bold, cutting guitars and dark minimal vocals.
With a full-length ‘Islands’ and several EPs on the shelf, Rodrigues is known for bending the boundaries of genres while remaining unattached to any singular form. Her latest single ‘Some Are’ was released in December 2024 with a music video directed by Adeline Thery.

Beyond her work with cumgirl8, Rodrigues has collaborated, performed, and recorded with ensembles including Laila, and Yonatan Gat (Stones Tapes/Joyful Noise), among others.
