“Balancing light and shade on this record, there is beauty and tension all wrapped up in Paul’s vivid and visceral, storytelling gift.” (Bandcamp)
With a new album due for release very soon, Project Gemini (aka Paul Osborne) are back with a brand new selection of songs! Due for release on April 5th, Colours and Light brings together the worlds of folk rock, psych soundtracks and hazy cinematic funk.
Today’s song is the title track from this forthcoming release, following previous single, After The Dawn, which also features on the album. In a write-up on Project Gemini’s Bandcamp page, the theme of the album is said to have “developed naturally through the lyrics Paul began writing. A creative process both plagued and fed by insomnia, nourished by relationships, entwined in emotions, nights out, nights in and the after-effects on the human condition. Relatable themes yet seen through the prism of a soundscape that takes in many a different culture and scene. From acid folk to psych-funk, Francophile elements to Anatolian and Eastern inspirations, all interlocking and rotating as one”.
Drawing inspiration from those he admires, Colours & Light is alive with collaborations – and you can read all about who has been involved with this record on the Bandcamp page, HERE
Colours and Light follows Project Gemini’s 2022 debut album, The Children of Scorpio and looks set to continue on a similar kaleidoscopic sonic journey where vivid soundscapes intertwine with undulating melodies and ethereal vocal lines. I’m looking forward to seeing how this continued adventure unfolds! Listen to the latest single above and pre-order yourself a copy of the album from here.
