The songs of Gem Club‘s six-song 2010 EP Acid and Everything used piano, cello and vocals, but more than that they used space... taking a similar route as James Blake on his debut album. Christopher Barnes and Kristen Drymala spread their elements across the stereo field, allowing their solemn piano chords and the cello’s plaintive counterpinings to echo across some limitless space. As a result, Acid and Everything‘s songs come off like a melancholy dream. Indie label Hardly Art took notice, and late last month they signed Gem Club, who have now added vocalist Leva Berberian. On September 27, the trio will be releasing their debut full-length Breakers.
In advance of that, the group released the title track on their Bandcamp page.
