Hin einstaka hljómsveit Geislar mun halda tónleika í Mengi fimmtudaginn 6. mars. Geislar eru með fangið fullt af nýrri tónlist. Önnur platan þeirra, Supernature kemur út á næstunni en þegar eru komin út þrjú lög.
„Þetta er afskaplega vandað, og erfitt að staðsetja þetta. Draumkennt og smá svona geðbilun. […] Það er jazz í þessu en líka svona Portishead. Bíómyndamúsík. […] Mjög flottar útsetningar, t.d. instrumental lagið, síðasta lagið á plötunni; Resolution in Revolution. Virkilega fallegt og draumkennt. Fögur tónlist.
Mér finnst þetta bara alveg frábær diskur. … Þetta hljómar ekki eins og neitt annað sem ég man eftir í svipinn. Ég vona að þetta sé komið til að vera, því þetta er hálfgerð súpergrúbba með öllum þessu frábæru músíköntum. En þetta er plata sem sker sig virkilega úr.“

„Quicksilver is the kind of smooth, sophisticated and succulent Soul/Jazz pop infusion that you need musicians of true calibre to deliver. High class female vocals weave in and out of the lush chord patterns, instrumental interplay and dreamy late night vibe of the band. The playing is sublime and the melody is made all the more exotic by the extended harmonic language and light-textured buoyancy of the track. A vividly colourful kaleidoscope to brighten up your week. Absolute class.

The truly unique Icelandic band Geislar will perform at Mengi Thursday March 6th. They will be performing music from their upcoming album, Supernature as well as some from their critically acclaimed album Containing the Dark.
“Exceptionally well done but difficult to categorize, It is both dreamy and kind of crazy. […] There is jazz in there but also bit like Portishead. Film music […] the arrangements are excellent. For instance, the last song on the album, the instrumental one, Resolution in Revolution. Beautiful and dreamy, how the the piano and guitar weaves along with the strings. ... I find this album exceptionally good. It doesn’t sound like anything else out there. I hope this band is here to stay as it is kind of a supergroup with all these great musicians. But it is an album that really stands apart.”
