Gossamer

Gossamer has brought its unique blend of musical styles to a world jaded by the ordinary, intrigued with the mysterious, and fascinated with the unknown. Although their work is tinged with darkwave, EBM, trip-hop, and ethereal rock, gossamer has created an enigma of light and dark that is melodic, discordant, and yet their own. Their music contains an honesty, depth, and romanticism that is often downbeat yet quite dancable."Despite the band being placed within the gothic category, their sound could be best described as dark pop. They blend a style of gothic and trip hop on some songs while also utilizing more classical Celtic sounds for some of their ballads. It is not often that a total marriage of vocals and instrumentals come together to draw the listener in with the degree that this band has. The first noticeable thing that stands out is the lead vocalist, Chris Gray, who has a deep, seductive and masculine sound that would make anyone swoon. Mr. Gray manages to transform lyrics into realms of subtle passion and pain. The lyrics themselves are at times wrist slashers and among some of the more mournful that I have heard in quite some time. A whole new genre of Erotic Existentialism could actually built around their entire sound. Despite the stark lyrics, one cannot come away from listening to this music without feeling they have been totally seduced by the voice from the speaker. This is truly auditory sex if ever there was such a thing."Please note: This page is not run by Gossamer, all messages/questions to the band should be directed to Christopher Grayor Carpe Mortem Records
