I first heard "Animals" when I bought the music magazine "Clash" late last summer and downloaded its free music sampler. The song's beauty haunted me for weeks and then I stopped listening because its power was so amazing it almost broke my heart. Tonight, for some reason, I went to listen again and then discovered the Gem Club's EP (with all six songs) sells very reasonably for $5.94
All of the tracks are breath-taking. I listened and my breath actually caught in my throat. This is the kind of music you could never survive listening to if you've just gone through a very sad time. Heck, even on a good day, you might be reaching for that box of tissues on your nightstand.
Lovely, lovely, lovely stuff! Besides "Animals," three other equally gorgeous songs are: "Flax," "Acid and Everything" and "Spine."
Don't say you weren't warned: some music can only be measured in small doses, the more beautiful, the harder to take.
Gem Club WILL break your heart, but they will also quietly comfort you!
