Angélica Garcia – Gemini
Los Angeles’ pop experimentalist Angélica Garcia today releases her visceral new astrologically-inclined single “Gemini” about seeing the double-sided facade and dichotomy in all things in life.
Propelled by the track’s alt-pop instrumentation (provided in part by members of Chicano Batman), Angélica juxtaposes lyrics that probe into the dark side of the duality inherent within all. “Gemini” further explores the overall themes present on Angélica’s upcoming album Gemelo, whose title refers to the twin self: the idea of a second, more intuitive self within as she sings, “I see double, I see double everywhere I go…”
She adds,” Sometimes I just want to be playful because so many things in the world feel simulated anyway. Choosing joy in the face of everything sometimes feels like rebellion. ‘Gemini’ leans the most into the Chicano Batman influence. Carlos Arévalo and Eduardo Arenas both play on it. Our friend William Alexander did a live cut of the drums, and it’s the only song on the album where the drums weren’t processed like samples. A big part of Gemini’s personality comes from the live feel.”
GEMELO, her first album almost entirely in Spanish arrives June 7 from Partisan Records.
