Haunting melodies, urgent arrangements, deep messages, an engaging voice, and clear execution. These are the hallmarks of Swiss cult band THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA, and its mastermind Michael Sele, who have once again proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are amongst the very best in their genre. Their seventh studio album «Minor Sun» (Release: 2. September 2016), features thirteen masterful new songs.
Nothing has been left to chance. Not the music itself, which both enlightens the soul and celebrates the aesthetics of darkness. Not the topics and lyrics, the poetically gentle lantern for the dark corners of society. Not the giant fan community that extends throughout Europe. This and more are the well-earned results of steadfast and continual development over the years. THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA will celebrate its ten-year anniversary with a few selected concerts all over Europe.
The album «Minor Sun» is in fact a birthday present dedicated first and foremost to the band’s most loyal fans, who have been eagerly awaiting its release. The pre-released single «Crossroads» - the album’s only cover version - was viewed over 210,000 times in just four weeks. This is a truly impressive figure that speaks to the building anticipation amongst fans.
Those looking to classify the THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA, might choose “Dark Wave”, a genre characterised as dark, forlorn, lamenting yet longing. «That’s probably not far off. It’s an apt description of the scene in which our music has struck a chord and the types of large festivals we play in Europe,» agreed Michael Sele, before finishing his thought with a wink. «It fits perfectly to the “little” sun in minor key that we radiate. Because we’re not all that dark, in fact musically we’re quite bright and colourful. We tackle societal and contemporary topics as a modern rock band, melding soundscape and lyrics into a cohesive ensemble.» With a proven track record of success!
