Gang Signs — Geist (October 2, 2015)

                       ^{Gang Signs — Geist (October 2, 2015)}                                       •    Geist je druh párty, kde nikdy nevíte přesně, co se bude dít dál, a napětí má dvě tváře: je jak okouzlující, zároveň jaksi nejasně znervózňující, ačkoli nikdy neohlašuje předem, kdo obdrží facku a kdo pohlazení. Geist is the latest work from Gang Signs. •    “The lyrics are based on 80’s horror movie plots and the music does have a gothic touch to it. The overall sound though is more Electro–Alternative with some Synth thrown in. The tracks are very melodious with good female and male vocals. Overall this album won’t blow you away but the tracks are mellifluous (there’s a $.50 word) and captivating. Gang Signs songs are musically conceived on guitar, written and demoed within four hours,” says Ricq. “They are purposefully written in a traditional verse, chorus, verse format, and to really make the cut they must make you want to move.”                                                                                                                              Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Product Description
•    Peter Ricq is a creative workaholic, who has made a living by bringing dreams to life as the creator of animated cartoons, his always–shifting visual art, and as the right brain of the electronic musical duo Humans. With his latest project, Geist by Gang Signs, he brings other people s nightmares to life as dance floor romances, as the majority of the lyrics began as adaptations of 1980s horror movie plots!
Reviews:
•    “Gang Signs make love to your ears.” — Vancouver Weekly
Andrea Warner
•    Geist is weird and great, gloomy and glamorous, a hypnotic utopia of electronic ambiance, wild dark heart and cool, chilled–out spaciousness. Like the fractious chaos of a dance floor in a cave entirely rigged with black light, Geist is the kind of party where you never know quite what will happen next and the tension is both delicious and vaguely unnerving, though never off–putting.
•    I’ve covered two of the tracks already, recommending them in our weekly Songs You Need to Hear profile of new music. “Mate” is a spacious, blissed–out meditation and the vocals, shared by Peter Ricq (HUMANS) and keyboardist Matea Sarenac, are catnip for fans of call–and–answer duets. If there’s such a thing as a gentle way on which to end an all–night rave and welcome the first yawning rays of sunrise, this is that song. •    http://music.cbc.ca/
