“The record’s glitchy tempos pitter and patter like static on a dead broadcast signal, then give way to thumping war drums… If the music on Infinite Sand Dunes had a counterpart in recent fiction, it would be the bleak, desperate, uprooted landscape of The Road.”

“Infinite Sand Dunes (earSnake Records), a conceptual compilation birthed from the pair’s winter recording sessions in the largest east coast desert—Jockey’s Ridge State Park in North Carolina. The album’s first half is an editorial on the trouble with the modern human experience, delivered through songs like “Murderous” and “Doppleganger Walk,” energized electronica to the tune of Holy Fuck mixed with sweet but ghostly vocals akin to Warpaint. The second half is the cerebral underscore of the record, organic and airy Sigur Ros-esque instrumentals with a synthy buzz, channeling the bittersweet sensation of a desert in winter.”

“I really enjoyed listening to their new album, Infinite Sand Dunes. This is one of those albums made to be listened to on a record player.  It accentuated the warmth in the album.  The album is an eerie, distant space adventure and yet somehow soothing at the same time.  An experience brought on by tribal percussion, beds of electronic noise, interesting samples, analog synthesizers, and much more. Gemini Wolf has a psychedelic quality and they are infinitely evolving the spectrum of sound.  I felt completely absorbed into the music.  Favorite parts of the album included the eerily sung and spoken vocals on side A and the electronic ambient trances on side B.”

“There are headphone albums and there are party records, and typically the two are mutually exclusive. But Gemini Wolf’s sophomore release, “Synchronized Eyes,” manages to be both. Listen closely, and there’s a dense swirl of music with plenty of layers to explore; slap it on the deck, and everyone’s sure to be moving.”

“Sugar” invokes so many things we love it’ll be hard to get them down right here, but we’ll try: The intro vocal hook seems like it’s the too-long-in-coming response to Donna Summer’s “Love To Love You, Baby,” but then alternates into a Debbie Harry coo straight from the Autoamerican era; the wild saxes and loping instrumental passages are straight out of the Arthur Russell playbook; and that groove is straight-up “Houses In Motion.” Ecoutez:”

“The two have been working together for years but have hit their stride with their second album Synchronized Eyes. The 10 track effort refuses to sit still as it bounces from afro-pop horns, grooving bass lines, painfully catchy vocal hooks, and layers upon layers of electronic blips and blaps. The end result is one of the best albums of 2009.”

“It’s the sirenlike vocals amidst Broken Social Scene-inspired synth melodies that first give you pause. But the slow morph into a bizarre Care Bear world of unnatural cheer and bliss that follows really catches the listener’s breath.”
