GPSYMTH-Brewster
A few days ago when an email from Stars and Letters landed in my inbox I knew that I would be in store for something beautiful that would fully envelop both my mind and ears. Back when I was first starting this blog I posted about their first release, which was Black City Lights’ Parallels EP, and now here we are a few months later with the label’s third release and it’s definitely one that shouldn’t be overlooked. GPSYMTH (pronounced gypsy moth) is 20 year old Boston resident Peter Quinn and if you somehow missed out on his debut EP Craft then don’t fret because his first full length Ripostes is on the verge of being released and it’s a chance to get you even better acquainted with the charming dream popper’s captivating sound. GPSYMTH’s music is surrounded by a heavenly ambient nature and driven by Quinn’s airy, subtle voice and layers of breathtakingly dreamy soundscapes that seem to almost overflow with purity. Ripostes shimmers from beginning to end and as it progresses, you can’t help but to feel a sense of euphoria wash over you from head to toe. The album isn’t officially released until the 30th but you can preorder it now over on bandcamp for $8 and if you can’t wait for that preorder to arrive or you just need a little bit more convincing, then visit Stars and Letters soundcloud page to stream the album in it’s entirety. Also, don’t forget to pull out those headphones, you’re going to need them. Recommended for fans of BATHS, Summer Heart, and Washed Out.
