Artist Spotlight: Geographer

We keep on trucking with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight for today! We're going to head out to the home of the Giants and 49ers, San Francisco, CA and settle into the smooth sounds of Geographer. The band consists of Mike Deni on lead vocals, guitar, keys, synth, and bass, Nathan Blaz on cello and electronics, and Brian Ostreicher on drums and vocals. The band has an escapist, dream-pop like atmosphere to them similar to the likes of Beach House and Vacationer with an open-minded and calm musical structure to them that is relaxing and cathartic in terms of pleasure and relaxation. I stumbled across these guys randomly while catching one of their performance videos online, and I was impressed with the band's musical makeup that totally reflected the easy going and carefree nature of the Bay Area where the guys are from, and showcases the type of music that they set out to create when they were conjuring up these tunes while in the studio. A terrific on the rise act that is definitely worthy of a shout out here on the blog. Some recommended tracks for you to check out include "Life of Crime" and "Kites".

For more information on the guys in Geographer, head on over to their Facebook page located here and find out everything that there is to know about them. You can follow the guys on Twitter as well from over here and get in touch with them to see when they'll be making their way to a nearby concert venue. Check out their official website located here for a host of wide ranging features pertaining to the band, and check out their music on iTunes among a host of select digital music platforms.
