The Empress

The Empress is the groove laden, library sounds homage project of Paul Elliot (Pleasurewood) and Paul Osborne (Project Gemini).  The duo's upcoming new album "Fortune Teller" feels like a fuzzy, mystical soundtrack to an Italian crime drama or giallo.  Check out "Switch Blade" below and pre-order the LP here from Library of the Occult.

Dream Division Reimagined

Last year, psychedelic artist Dream Division released the Giallo-inspired album "A Rose in the Garden of Winter," a funky and acid drenched faux soundtrack to an '70s Italian thriller that never existed.  This year, that album gets a reimagining from a slew of artists and The Library of the Occult Electronic Orchestra.  Contributors include artists like Ivan The Terrible, The Hologram People, Antoni Maiovvi, and more.  Check out the funky psych version of "Thorns" from Project Gemini below and pre-order the "Una Rosa nel Giardino d'Inverno: Il Ritorno" LP here from Library of The Occult.

Project Gemini

UK artist Project Gemini and MR BONGO Records are bringing us more of that good, funk psychedelia with April's upcoming release "Colours & Light."  The artist's previous work has consisted of a wonderful mix of psych, folk, funk, library, and more, and the new record looks to continue those vibes.  Check out the excellent title track below and pre-order the LP here.

Pyrope

Pyrope is a kind of library studio supergroup featuring members of Project Gemini, Eleven76, and others.  The artists just released a new 7" with two groovy tracks that pull from Italian crime movie soundtracks and a dash of horror.  Check out "The Duel" below and grab the record here from Delights.

Project Gemini

Now here's some really cool shit from UK artist Paul Osborne under the moniker of Project Gemini.  The upcoming album "The Children of Scorpio" sounds like the missing soundtrack to some Euro B-movie from the '60s or '70s, a funky mix of psych, folk, and library cues.  Check out the album opening title track below and pre-order the LP here from MR BONGO.
