Majka Jezowska (a Polish proto-pop singer) once sang "Electronica is not playing for the musician, it's his heart that gives us the rhythm..."
With Gale Grand Central it's quite the opposite. The availibility of the transistors once more showed how de-spirited and futile an attempt to stroke zeroes with ones can be.
The sounds you can find on "re: Gale EP" are a string of schematic threads pointing at a collapse. As for the compositions, they are more the pattern on a Turkish rug than the thoughts of its seller.
The EP begins with "Lovers", a song that starts and ends the same. "Moonfloor", the second track, is similar to the first one, but a tad bit slower. The last track, "Crown Head", sounds exactly like the other two.
I think that if I were to position Gale Grand Central's music somewhere in real space, it would perfectly fit as the background for a vernissage, with the coverage of Polish TV using Japanese cameras.
Tracklist:
1. Lovers
2. Moonfloor
3. Crown Head
