GOSPEL GOSSIP

"Gospel Gossip is the only band that falls under the category of "shoegaze" that drives me to dance. I'm not talking about swaying my shoulders while my feet are in place like a good indie kid. I'm talking about the kind of dancing that you hope either breaks something or gets you laid. Their post punk influences surface most evidently in the throbbing bass lines and danceable drums that make you move like Ian Curtis. If you take acid or eat some of those red caps with white spots it is going to take maybe 20 minutes or so for the psychedelic experience to really kick into gear. That's not true when it comes to hearing this crunchily overlaid with swirling guitar and floating vocal melodies. All this may sound nice and fun but when the time comes...and it definitely comes, they lay into their instruments creating a cacophonic wall of sound as their eyes roll back into their universal head and sweat beads and people end up on their knees with arched backs and hell maybe even some toes curling. That's just what has to happen."

- Max Clark (Unicorn Basement/UF Records/Nightosaur)

COLDER IN MOSCOW

Formed back in 2008, Colder in Moscow earned success early on with their debut release, Great Speculation. Hot on the circuit, CIM played the legitimate clubs in town and opened for many of Minneapolis' finest, including the Love-Cars. In 2010, the drum chair opened up and Mound native Matthew Leonard joined the band. The band returned to Humans Win! Studio in August to begin work on a new album.
