The evolution of music is a very comical process sometimes,
as the amalgam of genres and subgenres eventually collide. The birth of
electronica, ska, and various offspring has sent music in a direction that once
held the rudimentary genres of rock n’roll, jazz, and classical music.
Geographer is a child of this movement, a sub-pop mixed with electro beats that
leave a listener bewildered at what to call, or think of it.
This San Francisco trio consists of vocalist (Michael Deni), cellist (Nathan Blanz), and drummer
(Brian Ostreicher) and the best part has yet to come with their music, a
product of the prolific and notorious Bay Area realm of music, and it comes in
the form of their vocals. Michael Deni can be heard amidst synthesized beats
and magnificent cellos. His voice is poetic, somber to the ear and inviting,
welcoming to say the least. The band has been circulating the likes of San
Francisco since they released their single “Kites” in 2009. Now they seek to
toss their music into other arenas of the US and what better place to present
then SXSW. There is no doubt
Geographer can create a crowd or perform an incredible show, they’re music does
not allow for otherwise. The music bites when needed, and relaxes when it is
satisfied. Their singles “Kites” and “Can’t You Wait” introduce electronic
music with drum and cello to produce a beautiful array of sound. But check out
their entire LP Animal Shapes out
now.
