Gem Club new article content ...
Gem Club is an experimental pop band that was formed by Christopher Barnes in late 2009. Barnes met cellist Kristen Drymala soon later that autumn and the two first performed a short set of covers together at a private party in Boston. [1]
Their first EP, Acid and Everything, was written and recorded at Barnes' home during the month of February 2010 as part of the RPM challenge, and was self-released on CD later that year. [2] The EP soon caught the attention of music blogs and websites—including Pitchfork.com, who described their sound as "cavernous-sounding piano-based ballads that … feel truly ethereal, as if they're being piped in from another planet bereft of gravity." [3]
Their latest effort, Breakers, will be released September 27 2011 on the Sub Pop imprint, Hardly Art.
