Artist description Please feel free to send us email feedback. Gossamer brings a unique blend of musical styles to a world jaded by the ordinary, intrigued with themysterious, and fascinated with the unknown. Although their work is tinged with darkwave, industrial, trip-hop, and ethereal rock, gossamer has created a melodic enigma that embodies both light and darkness. Their music contains an honesty, depth, and romanticism that is often downbeat yet quite dancable, and oddly uplifting.

Press Reviews "Atmospheric goth with a tinge of electronics: The deep male vocals are so seductive and the compositions are beautiful! Why isn't this on a label?" - Octavia, Outburn Magazine issue #5, who gave it 3 out of 3 stars. "What appears to be just a demo tape is actually the key to some of the best goth-industrial music you'll hear. Leaning more towards the goth edge, these guys have really put a lot into it and it shows. Reflecting images of The Cure and Sisters of Mercy, but coming off better than their most recent output, Gossamer march into the realm, putting others to shame. ... True Gothic Genius ... A masterpiece!" -Vince Cornelius; Permission, Dark Angel, Industrial Nation http://www.idrecords.com/gossamer/reviews.htm for more reviews and press releases
