Following up a track as strong as ‘Sinking Stone’ was never going to be an easy task for NYC duo GEMS but with ‘Medusa’ they may well have just surpassed expectation.
Premiering over on Gorilla vs. Bear now, the track continues the deeply dramatic tones of previous work whilst tapping into super commercial viability. Basically, ‘Medusa’ is a bonafide hit in waiting. Listen below.
The Medusa EP drops on November 12. Catch GEMS play a string of shows at NYC new music showcase CMJ next week.
