Lindsay Pitts and Clifford John Usher together form the avant-garde group GEMS. Their debut album, out October 30th, will include a set list of sulky, ingenious and mystical pop. Kill The Ones You Love includes the engulfing single "Soak", which starts off with dreamy guitar strums and finger snaps until it ignites into entrancing synth transitions once the chorus hits. GEMS has a way of hypnotizing their listeners with powerful lyrics on loss of love, fighting the pain and treading the water in order to save yourself. Anyone suffering or who has suffered from heartache can connect to the lyrical compassion of "Soak", trapping us in the haunting drops of every beat and capturing the essence of what it takes to move on.
GEMS begins their North American Tour on October 9th at the Troubadour. For Fall dates head on over to their website as well as their Soundcloud to hear more from Kill The Ones You Love. – Kayla Hay
