Philebrity Post

Some nice reviews and articles are coming in about our show at Johnny Brenda’s Saturday night and our new album Synchronized Eyes. We we’ve had great reviews in the Philadelphia Weekly, The City Paper, The Metro and now on the biggest music / lifestyle blog in Philadelphia, Philebrity. Read the post below or check it out online with a free download of the track “Sugar”. (photo by: Melissa Hassey)

You could listen to Gemini Wolf’s new full-length, Synchronized Eyes, all week long and still not really be able to say what kind of band they are. We know because we just did this. But we know this much: Amidst the electronic pop and fizz banging up against the real-time instrumental and vocal vamping that brings it all together, somewhere along the line, Gemini Wolf full-on time travels. (We knew that blanket at right could do more than just fly over the suburbs.) “Sugar” invokes so many things we love it’ll be hard to get them down right here, but we’ll try: The intro vocal hook seems like it’s the too-long-in-coming response to Donna Summer’s “Love To Love You, Baby,” but then alternates into a Debbie Harry coo straight from the Autoamerican era; the wild saxes and loping instrumental passages are straight out of the Arthur Russell playbook; and that groove is straight-up “Houses In Motion.”


That’s some good company. Hope to see you at the show, spread the word
