KLOF Shares GECKØS’ “Compelling Introduction”

KLOF writes that GECKØS‘ single “El Techno” is “a compelling introduction to the trio’s distinctive sonic world, characterised by a loping groove and atmospheric textures. The track’s most striking feature is a career-first for M. Ward, who takes the vocal lead entirely in Spanish. A surprising and seamless fit for his distinctive croon, Ward, whose grandparents were from Mexico, grew up hearing the language and describes his take as a form of “Spanglish.” It’s a bold artistic choice that immediately sets GECKØS apart, showcasing a collaborative spirit that pushes its esteemed members into new territory. For a musician with such a storied career, including his work in She & Him and Monsters of Folk, this new linguistic turn is a testament to the project’s fresh, exploratory energy.” Read more here.

Featuring Ward alongside Giant Sand’s Howe Gelb and Irish musician McKowsky, GECKØS’ self-titled debut LP is at radio via ORG Music. Get it started now.
