Gorgeous Children - Howedoit

Crazy to me how few soundcloud followers these fools have.  As dope as they are I am most taken with Gila Monsta, the producer behind the duo.

Gorgeous Children - ICE

Through Jacques Greene's Vase imprint, Gorgeous Children release ICE.  At approximately thirty minutes, the mixtape is an example in odd juxtaposition as the length and capacious soundscapes across which mechanic trap percussion jitters bespeak cold minimalism while Face Vega and Gila Monsta craft hypotactic verses that, in some ways, eagerly try to fill the empty void with a potent worldview tinged with lust, braggadocio, and violence.

Gorgeous Children - Sour

Gorgeous Children, signed to Jaques Greene's Vase imprint, deliver the icy, synth-swirling "Sour," the first release from their forthcoming release, ICE.  Denver-based producer Gila Monsta (whose previous work I've included after the jump)  grapples with the operatic Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack to craft a sparse soundscape over which to lay trap drums. 

Gorgeous Children - Liberace Gems

Face Vega and Gila Monsta make up Gorgeous Children.  They are signed to Jacques Greene's Vase Records which will release their first EP.  This writeup featured on Stereogum says some interesting things:

 There is so much to consider with Gorgeous Children’s “Liberace Gems” that I have spent way too much time trying to suss out some kind of epic thesis statement to introduce these beasts to you... I could wax eternally about the customs and culture of regional rap and how because of guys like them the Internet is one unto itself. There’s also a mess of blogspace that Denver-based producer and one half of GC Gila Monsta’s totally masterful SoundCloud deserves. But more important than a treatise on the ever-evolving rapscape or how Gila’s steely and quivering remix of “Make The Trap Say Aye” is this track. It’s maudlin, yet ethereal. Syrupy horns roll over a wavy bass and a cold shroud looms atop it. Other half of Gorgeous Children, rapper Face Vega of Seattle, maws across the dark space, but his delivery swells with bravado despite its pace. It will make you want to punch someone, but in slow motion. They’ll make their New York debut this weekend at 285 Kent this Saturday, opening for Evian Christ. I’ll be there, lighting the already-destroyed couches on fire when they play this cut.
