‘Night Reels’ is Gentlemen’s first collection of blissed-out guitar synesthesia put to record in jaw-dropping style.
Originating separately from the UK, Italy and Australia, the five piece connected through their shared love of the noir, the unknown. Their formation in 2012 was the beginning of a journey which has seen them blossom into a completely immersive and thrillingly eccentric new whole.
“With ‘Night Reels’ we wanted to draw on the sounds we saw as classic but make a forward thinking record – the sort of record we would want to lay back and listen to late at night.”
With ‘Night Reels I’ – the first half of this new collection and their debut EP release the likes of the darkly sweltering ‘Late Nacht’ and the twisted pop of ‘Children of The Setting Sun’ saw their output acclaimed by the likes of Zane Lowe, NME and The Guardian as well as packing out shows in their adopted London hometown. Now with its espousal tracks ushered in by the glorious bombast of ‘Gentle Duke’, Gentlemen’s beautifully kaleidoscopic vision comes fully into light.
Balancing their astute pop sensibility with a massive array of breathtaking instrumentation and swooping melodies – note the ornately mellow keys of ‘Midnight Movie’ switching seamlessly to the cathartic, genre-bending instrumental of ‘Underground’ – ‘Night Reels’ is the display of Gentlemen at the peak of their mind-altering powers.
Limited Edition - 300 units only.
“What the Beatles might have sounded like in 1972, post-T Rex.” - The Guardian
“Following in the Technicolor wake of Tame Impala and Temples, London’s Gentlemen take the glam-pop template and twist the kaleidoscope until it contorts into their own unique vision.” - NME “Sounds like something that might’ve spilt from the pen of Kevin Parker on a lazy Sunday, and which may or may not be offered in tribute to one of the band’s idols, late jazz-fusion pianist George Duke.” - The Fly
