Getting back into the swing of things here since my week off in Mexico, so hang tight, there’s a lot of posts coming this week. While checking my feeds today, I came across this stunning new video for my favourite GEMS track “Sinking Stone”, off the Medusa EP. Check it out.
I hope you’re still taking my advice, when I continually tell you to get on board with GEMS. This new one from the DC duo is called “Scars”.
Look for the band on the road with Hundred Waters.
