Geographer: Electronically Organic



The strength of Geographer is their ability to write songs that sound like they could be just as effective on an acoustic guitar with sparse instrumentation as they are in their electronic setting. By bringing the songs into the electronic world of synth blips, beeps, and beats, the band provides the music with a level of sheen that adds a certain amount of innocent appeal to their uniquely heartfelt and warm songs. Instead of getting stagnant and burying the emotion of their songs under the weight of electronic instrumentation, Geographer manages to keep things human through the incorporation of natural drums, cello, and electric guitar. It all comes together to give the music an increasingly open feeling.

Geographer is Michael Deni, Nathan Blaz (St. Vincent), and drummer Brian Ostreicher.

BUY: "Kites" is from Geographer's Animal Shapes EP out now on Tricycle Records. Pick it up here.
