About Me


You Wish I Was Channeling Your Spirit is the new record by Phoenix-based musician/motivational speaker Abelardo Gil aka Treasure Mammal. For the past several years, Gil has been spreading his special message of self esteem and physical fitness across the United States and beyond. When describing the new record, Gil explains, "This album is about community. There is a small distinct community in each of these songs and I feel very fortunate to be graced with the presence of these great performers/musicians on this album. Hooray 4 building community! Put your hands in the middle, wave 'em like you just don't care, step outside the safety zone that you have built yourself, love yourself, take care of the people you love, and live everyday like it was the last!!!". Using a patchwork of beats for the body, analog synthesizers, and rhymes clearer than Crystal Pepsi, You Wish I Was Channeling Your Spirit speaks to the listener about establishing goals. The only positive addiction in the world of Treasure Mammal is the addiction to over-achieving. Positive life-lessons can be found like hidden gems within each track. How we feel about ourselves crucially affects virtually every aspect of our experience, from the way we function at work, in love, in sex, to the way we operate as parents, to how high in life we are likely to rise. Our responses to the happenings in our everyday life are shaped by who and what we think we are. With this new record, Treasure Mammal helps the listener channel the positive energy of high self-esteem and self-motivation into a sound action plan and firm foundation for future growth, greater character, and a more promising future. On Your mark. Get set. Gay!

Expect the Max review
Venezuelan Abelardo Gil’s solo project Treasure Mammal is the soundtrack to your next DMT trip. Collages of noises, samples, and Casio keyboards bubble to the top like some sort of John Zorn or Mike Patton bastard side project. Occasionally as abrasive as Atari Teenage Riot with thickly distorted blast beats and keyboards, Treasure Mammal isn’t afraid to tear down any barrier, exploring new territory seemingly with each song. Drug users be wary, this might be too mindblowing to use as the backdrop to your next heavy trip.

Secret Treasures Album Review
Holy crap. Okay, first off, just let me say that this is easily the weirdest thing I've listened to in years. Freaky, freaky shit. Treasure Mammal appears to be two guys, mad scientist geniuses Abe (guitar, sampler, theremin, drums, and vocals) and Nick (drums, drum machine, guitar, and "sing[ing] about the reservation," according to their Website), and whatever they're smoking, keep it the hell away from me, because it sounds like it might just do permanent damage. Musically speaking, Secret Treasures is all over the map, swinging from ear-shredding electrofuckery and sample thievery ("Intro," "Professional Organizer," "Jesse Spandex," "Bear Claw") to sloppy, Mudhoney-ish rock ("Rio Grande") to the craziest party-funk/soul this side of Har Mar Superstar ("Handlin Business," "Spring Break," "Dance Party"). The weirdest thing about this disc, though, is that, well, I'm still listening. Insane though it certainly is, Treasure Mammal has also somehow wormed its way into my brain, to the point where I can't stop hearing Abe shrieking "Spring Break Oh-Four!" over and over again in my head. And for some reason, I don't mind. (JH from Spacecity Rock)

The first album ever done under the name Treasure Mammal. This was when we were a duo with Nicholas Kroll on drums. This album is a strange blend of Electronic/Punk/Dance/Jazz/Spazz rock. Half Treasure, half Mammal...Treasure Mammal combines the intricate design of nature with the synthetic creations of man. Treasure Mammal was created by researchers at MIT when they discovered a rare gene that turns human skin slowly into gold.Treasure Mammal may have gold skin, but that doesn't stop them from making platinum hits. they are most well known for the special breed of mammal rock, which combines electronica, hard-core, and spazz into one giant hit machine
abe plays guitar, sampler, theremin, drums, and sings
nick plays drums, drum machine, guitar, and sings about the reservation

Treasure MammaL/ Whitman Split 7 inch
"Here is a split that will take you from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other within minutes. It has two new offering by each artist. Whitman gives you a psychedelic jam on how to make Riverside the ideal homeland utilizing fireflies as well as a cover of a song by I.E., stripping this club song down to ukulele and percussive noise. The Treasure Mammal side on the other hand brings a jazzy, electronic life lesson, and karma-tic Casio ballad. Black vinyl, with inserts containing lyrics, and covers designed and printed by Matt Hart. Limited to 337 copies."

Influences: Spirit of the WindThe Unicorn is wrongly named A description will tell why. Silver hooves upon the ground Wing tips brush the sky.The sight of his eyes Is quite unusual and rare. They give off the feelings Of warmth, love, and care.The mane is melted gold A flame against the blue Matched only by his tail Which is the same fiery hue.The horn is the most Mystical of all Rainbow it is colored Magic is its call.Gentle is his nature Never has he sinned. As everyone can see He's the Spirit of the Wind.

The tour dates from June 18th until the 25th will be cancelled due to lack of shows, and lack of money. Whitman and I will do the second half though. Sorry for any inconveniences. Abe
