Listening to the music of Gem Club is like hearing time stand still: Spare and methodically muted, these songs not only ease you into this dreamlike world, but force you to stew in the emotional weight of each note. You can hear it in the piano chord's slow-drip pulse and sweeping cello lines -- which swirl all around Christopher Barnes' voice with such haunted beauty it aches in your heart. It's this interplay between the lovely and the melancholy that makes Gem Club so dynamic.
For its first two records -- the 2010 EP Acid And Everything and 2011's Breakers -- the Boston chamber pop trio recorded mostly in Barnes' bedroom. For many artists, that situation might be artistically confining. But Breakers' intimate yet exquisite sound transcended the small recording space. For the group's latest release, this year's superb In Roses, the band went to a new recording space, Tiny Telephone -- John Vanderslice’s San Francisco studio. And while still sparse, it's clear with songs like "Hypericum" and "Polly" occupy a wider sonic space as well. The result is an expansive, electronic soundscape that retains and builds on Gem Club's trademark warmth and depth.
Watch Gem Club perform "Twins" from Breakers live in the Soundcheck studio.
He's such a beautiful human being.
Being able to watch the live performance just enhances the music experience. Love this song so much and the creation of this work.
So beautiful. Thank you.
Lovely just amazing thank you so much
Sublime!!
It makes me so sad how underrated they are.
The wind shook the kiss from your mouth,
Before I could learn whose twin I was.
Your face familiar, like a light in the water.
Just your touch could cure my lonesome blood.
You let go of everything you had.
And everything got left here,
Waiting for what comes next.
The state of things is tied to me.
And I've been careless,
I think too much.
I want to lie still, near you,
Near you.
I want to.
The wind shook the kiss from your mouth,
Before I could learn whose twin I was.
Umm.. why are they not much larger than they are?? It’s beautiful music. Seriously stunning. He is not bad looking either. Hahahahaha I tried finding some interviews and haven’t found any. About to google interviews, hopefully there some interviews somewhere.
Notes?
Does anyone know how to play this on piano?
I wish I knew, but I can't find the sheets
