Five
years after the highly considered debut album and two more albums acclaimed by
fans and the media the charismatic and keen singer-songwriter Michael Sele is
afresh launching a further eagerly anticipated studio album: "ISCARIOT
BLUES". He’s leading his THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA project -
accompanied by the musicians David Vetsch (bass) and Mac Vincens (drums) - onto
the next level. In doing so, Michael Sele is acting even more song-oriented
compared to his prior albums, showing his whole range of experience,
inventiveness and musical changeableness. In the ten hymn-like and diversely
arranged tracks the band leader seduces the listener with his dark timbre,
lures hypnotically, constantly driving by powerful vocals and an unmistakable
guitar play. In so doing he skilfully shuttles between melancholic intimacy and
stadium sound, processing rock, wave, goth and blues influences. Betrayal,
liberation and departure are central topics on "ISCARIOT BLUES". On the
one hand Michael Sele reveals his habitual darkness; on the other hand he
appears growingly political, proclaiming a new revolution and thus predicting
an according cultural and social change of paradigms.
THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA conceive themselves as a
modern rock band orbiting close to the spirit of the age. Nonetheless, their
sound knowingly eludes a clear musical categorisation. A distinctive voice as
primary component, psychedelic guitar sounds, driving electronic devices,
acoustic elements and profound lyrics peak to an arc of suspense, belt the
mighty, epic-dark songs and reflect Michael Sele’s atmospheric and at the
same time daunting imagery output. Voyaging into a luminous future, THE
BEAUTY OF GEMINA with their new album "ISCARIOT BLUES" are staging
an opus of timeless-dark elegance, guiding their unique style to perfection.
