GEL SET


Dark and beautiful synth dirges with peacefully haunting female vocals floating above the songs more than leading them. Whether by intent or accident, this comes across as a junked out modern interpretation of early electronic dance music, with a deliberate intensity that shines on tracks like "Eyes Wide Shut" and the tape's opening (and best) jam, "Paradise For The Wicked." I'm a little late to the game with GEL SET, the second release came early this year and is arguably more excellent than Cell Jets...and it is also just as sold out. This their debut, nothing wrong with being tardy as long as you show up eventually.
