More
interesting sounds from Italy………. Falling somewhere between Mogwaiesque Post Rock and the more somnolent
sounds of Sigur Ros, Gemini is the debut album from Sicilian quartet Good Morning Finch. There is nothing on this record that is pushing the envelope
with its mix of “quiet, loud, quiet” song structures and woozy soundscapes but
nevertheless there are some great songs that hint of the promise to come as the
band evolve from a raw Post Rock band into something much more thrilling. Gemini
has the feel of a band in transition as Good Morning Finch move towards a more Dream
Pop influenced sound, even though there are some fantastic noisy Post Rock
tunes like “Atomite” and “Cane”, it is the longer tracks that are more interesting
as they give the band more space to explore and experiment…….”Copenhagen”, “Malia”
and the album’s title track are all excellent, plus bonus points for not singing
in English as it really adds to the atmosphere of these songs.
Gemini is
available as either a “name your price” download and also as a limited edition
CD from the band’s Bandcamp page http://goodmorningfinch.bandcamp.com/album/gemini-2015 .……..there is no doubt a massive
Sigur Ros influence on this record and if that kind of sound is your thing we recommend that
you check this out.
