Description
Night Reels is Gentlemens first collection of blissed-out guitar synesthesia put to record in jaw-dropping style.
Originating separately from the UK, Italy and Australia, the five piece connected through their shared love of the noir, the unknown.
Their formation in 2012 was the beginning of a journey which has seen them blossom into a completely immersive and thrillingly eccentric new whole.
With Night Reels we wanted to draw on the sounds we saw as classic but make a forward thinking record " the sort of record we would want to lay back and listen to late at night.
With Night Reels I " the first half of this new collection and their debut EP release the likes of the darkly sweltering Late Nacht and the twisted pop of Children of The Setting Sun saw their output acclaimed by the likes of Zane Lowe, NME and The Guardian as well as packing out shows in their adopted London hometown. Now with its espousal tracks ushered in by the glorious bombast of Gentle Duke, Gentlemens beautifully kaleidoscopic vision comes fully into light.
Balancing their astute pop sensibility with a massive array of breathtaking instrumentation and swooping melodies " note the ornately mellow keys of Midnight Movie switching seamlessly to the cathartic, genre-bending instrumental of Underground " Night Reels is the display of Gentlemen at the peak of their mind-altering powers.
