Anything that is Cocteau Twins inspired has a high probability to make me happy. This is definitely the case with Gem’s, “Medusa,” EP. Right from the beginning I was hooked. Mixing elements of Goldfrapp, the aforementioned Cocteau Twins, Violet Indiana, Loves Spirals Downward and Massive Attack, this duo makes a sound scape of stacked vocal harmonies, reverbed out guitars and lush pads. As soon as it was done I had to listen again, and I have been for the past 2 days.
