Gemini Wolf is psychedeltronic. The band is centered around the creative nucleus of Pandar and Mikronesia. This life cycle has seen its fair share of incarnations over the years. Around the release of their second full length album, Synchronized Eyes, Gemini Wolf is sounding more like a krautrock aftrobeat shaman dancing in a sometimes crowded club in a post apocalyptic Berlin .
Synchronized Eyes was written mostly on old analog music machines over the winter of 2008/9. Mikronesia and Pandar fleshed out the songs with a string quartet, afro-pop horn sections, MIDI madness and thick tribal percussion. Mikronesia and Pandar are happy to collaborate once again with long-time Wolf drummer/producer Gary Dann on several key tracks. An array of Philadelphia based musical visionaries graced the landscape of the album. The album features collaborators and members from some of Philadelphia's most well known and most dynamic musicians including cohorts of West Philadelphia Orchestra, Normal Love, Animia, Shot X Shot, Calvin Weston and loving contributions from master drummer/percussionist, Jimmy Coleman.
Synchronized Eyes will be released July 14 on earSnake Recordings.
I'm sure some of us will be able to make it out. What time do you go on? Yep.. the neighbor is back and drumming. Rap apparently. Is Gemini Wolf morphing into a rap project? If so, then you've got skills on the mic D mo.. you sound black in ways I didn't think was possible..
Heyhey... yeah recording went swimmingly yesterday, we're supposed to come back for more on Tuesday. The new G-Wolf stuff sounds really good, and although I can't be at the Johnny Brenda's show (sister's wedding) hopefully a few of us will be. Of course tell Frida we say hello and let her know (if she doesn't already) that she made it (vocals) on to the very end of at least one song...
