Philly Local Philes: Gemini Wolf’s “Doppelganger Walk”
One of the most thought-provoking records to come out of Philadelphia’s electronic music scene in recent years, Gemini Wolf‘s Infinite Sand Dunes ponders a scorched-earth future through eerie sonic textures, urgent vocal elements and a wholly instrumental side B where all traces of humanity have vanished. It’s like the soundtrack to a vast ocean, or a sprawling desert. Today’s Philly Local Phile hones in on “Doppelganger Walk,” the last of the album’s vocal cuts and the point where the march of mankind has plowed forth and the dunes are all that’s left. Sound too chilling to listen to alone? Take it in with friends and fellow concerned citizens when Gemini Wolf plays Kungfu Necktie this Friday night, Aug. 19. Gemini Wolf performs with Canon Blue and Oh! Pears at Kung Fu Necktie. Tickets to the 21+ show are $8.
