Hotwire Babylon by The Gemini Effect

‘Hotwire Babylon’ is the bands’ third album, released on vinyl in November '24. Digital release will be song at a time over the next few months. The band’s vision of Babylon is a place of art and culture where everyone can just BE. Imagine the Glastonbury festival but in heart of a city, on the set of Bladerunner…. Then add a sprinkling of sex, drugs and rock and roll! The opening track ‘Babylon’ sets the scene for what is to follow. A psychedelic rollercoaster with twists and turns from reimagining the origin of the species (Eve4Adam) to tripping through the back brain (Innerspace, Resonate). Throughout the album shines an honesty and integrity that binds the social conscience of human beings together. The band is not afraid to call out injustices (Idea, Defiance). Different influences ebb and flow. To quote a line in ‘Drop The Needle’, ‘…A to Z, rock to dread, Strummer fed. Track by track it takes you on a journey, tipping it’s hat to the past, firmly anchoring you in the now whilst showing you the future.
