Geisha Facade has become the recent hot topic at the Polaris Office. Every now and then a record releases that just ends up dominating our speakers for a few hours, " You Went To Space, Good Bye Dear" is currently that record. So, let's take the time to talk about what makes Geisha Facade such an incredible band and let's use them as an example to talk about how unique and unpredictable the Philly music scene really is. One thing that makes a band great, is consistency through Diversity. Geisha Facade is such a prime example of that. From their first release ( Living with Mental Illness ) to their most recent (You Went To Space, Good Bye Dear) there's such a warm familiar sound in all their tracks, consistent haunting vocals, but there's such space saved for each track to be unique in various ways. Let's talk about "Living with Mental Illness", a 4 track release where every track stands on it's own in terms of recognizable and interest. There's so much all four of these tracks have to offer that the other's don't. It's such a rare thing for a band to be able to provide an entire release that showcases not only music talent but a love or knowledge of theory and composition. The beautiful Synth/Shoegaze tones of Geisha Facade are worthy enough of praise, unmatched variety in diversity among tracks without sacrificing familiarity. Moving on to their most recent release "You Went To Space, Good Bye Dear", it holds the same methods of "Living with Mental Illness", an almost "Same Concept Different Approach" style of composition. "You Went To Space, Good Bye Dear" is in every way an unintentional tribute to The Gorillaz's "Plastic Beach", and by that we mean Both records accomplish the same thing using such similar tones and insight on theory. They both deliver stunning vocals, drawing instrumentals, and synth that lives with emotion instead of existing as fodder. Specifically looking at the track "Do I?" the synth absolutely carries this track in such a heavy and seductive way without over powering the gorgeous vocals. "Vogue" being another track that just make you want to go out and buy a Juno 100 and learn to create such incredible synth sounds. Overall, Geisha Facade offers so much that many other bands don't in terms of musical diversity. Every track sounds inviting and familiar on the outside, but offers an entire different service on the inside. Their entire Discography is a journey that I'd recommend taking.
