As an album, The Iridule combines driving house beats, vintage synths, funky guitars and spacey atmospherics across ten tracks to create a message that Gem calls “a love letter to the human condition.” They add, “I’ve traveled a great distance to bring this new music to the people of Earth. Human beings have a beautifully unique place in the cosmos. They’ve been entrusted with the awareness to see that there’s something deeply mysterious about existence itself, that there’s a signal buried within the noise. And yet, full comprehension of the mystery remains elusive.”

Taking place within the span of a thunderstorm - the sounds of which bookend the album - The Iridule tells the story of an awakening: the arrival of a new way of seeing, a journey to the heights of the cosmos, trials and doubts faced along the way, a return to terra firma and ultimately the tranquility that comes with new understanding.

The limited-edition 180-gram vinyl is available exclusively at geminicrushmusic.com and Bandcamp.
