GEMS rework Bo Rocha’s ‘Tangerine Flake’
The Washington duo put a jutting, sharp-edged spin on the slow-burning original.
Washington DC dream-pop duo GEMS have reworked Bo Rocha’s ‘Tangerine Flake’ ahead of the newcomer releasing ‘Even Green’. Due out on 13th November via Bait & Switch, it’s Bo Rocha’s debut EP, and includes her first ever Soundcloud upload ‘Tangerine Flake’.
Last month Bo Rocha dropped ‘Even Green’ track ‘‘Live Fast or Die’, and she heads to London later this month for a sold-out show at Servant Jazz Quarters on 21st October. She’s also set to launch the EP on 11th November with a further live date at the capital’s Waiting Room. Tickets are available here.
In their ‘Tangerine Flake’ remix, GEMS take all their cues from Bo Rocha’s minimal sparseness, but put a jutting, sharp-edged spin on the slow-burning original. Have a listen to the reworking, premiering below.
