Delving into his latest release, talented creative Balloon Animal explains how ‘Gemini’ would be inspired by “The sounds of NYC”, revealing the degree to which the external environment has a hold on his artistic endeavours. It does make sense: the Big Apple is such a vibrant, electrifying melting pot of people and stories that artistic souls might feel the need to ‘unload’ that somehow.
For Balloon Animal, it all happens in musical territories, with ‘Gemini’ wrapping the listeners into charming lo-fi vibes, glimmering through a grainy, texture-packed, soothing production. What more could you want? A sonic journey lasting the best part of a minute, the record takes a very precise musical concept and amplifies it infinitely, in a sense kidnapping us into an ethereal circle of deja-vu-like moments.
The listening experience is calming and cathartic, with the track being particularly handy as a background for brain-intense activities. Speaking about his artistry and the record, Balloon Animal explains: “Making music is one of the ways I take my mind off of things, and with this one things just fell into place. Sometimes you need to get your mind off of things and I do so by making music and that’s when this song happened.”
