New Album: IZ

I am pleased to announce the release of my 5th album (3rd under the Gel-Sol moniker) IZ.


"The follow-up album to 'Unifactor', 'IZ' explores new musical territory for Andrew Reichel in the orchestral/ symphonic vein. The listener may detect elements of artists like Stars of the Lid, Global Communication, or The KLF, but the entire experience of 'IZ' is completely original. Guitar loops, mellotron sounds, and lap steel all help enhance the organic nature of the music."

You can purchase IZ online through iTunes, eMusic and Beatport. Visit Upstairs Recordings for all the links.

IZ will be released on CD next week courtesy of Psychonavigation Records in Dublin.

Influencia 04.05.08

Is Influencia even a word? I'm not gonna bother looking it up right now. Anyways, here's some youtube stuff that I really like. In case you don't know, I am quite interested and influenced by late 60s - mid 70s prog rock. What's prog rock? Check out the clips, dummy!

Van der Graaf Generator - Whatever would robert have said


Soft Machine - Out-Bloody-Rageous


Genesis - Fountain of Salmacis


yes - gates of delirium


That's all for now. Stay tuned for more!

Enjoy!

Gel-Sol live at Nectar, Seattle 04.16.08

Nectar Lounge
8 PM / 21+
$7

with Obelus and the Animals at Night. This will be an album release party for the Animals at Night.

I have been to several shows at Nectar, and have always wanted to play there. Maybe it's the tall stage.

Makes me feel like a man.
