Banco de Gaia - Tongue In Chic (preview) 21.11.2025

You Are Here, Banco de Gaia’s sixth studio album, was a meditation on how things were in 2004, the year of its original creation. From elaborate electronica to caustic commentary, its globally inspired series of soundtracks runs from mystic to manic and back again. Alongside floor-filling booty-stompers like Tongue in Chic and Zeus No Like Techno (a staple in the Banco live show to this day) are t...

Banco De Gaia - Mir (preview) 06.09.2024

Trauma, my first album since 2016's The 9th of Nine Hearts, is an expression of stress and of suffering while also a celebration of overcoming and of hope. This juxtaposition is explored over the course of the album: a craving for peace in Mir; a simple bee sting in A Bee Song; loss and grieving in Draig Ddu; the wish for things to be otherwise in War; greed and abuse of power in My Little Country...

Banco De Gaia - Mir (preview) 16.08.2024

Ahead of the release of my new album, I'm proud to present Mir, a paean to peace in these tumultuous times. Featuring the sublime soprano saxophone of Matthew Jenkins, Mir's spacious sounds bring to mind both early Floyd and the Soviet Space Station of the same name. Accompanying the original are two remixes: a sunrise special from Sheffield's soundcloud.com/darklyam and an acid house banger by Ma...

Banco de Gaia & Future Pasts - A Bee Song (preview) 26.04.2024

Based on a traditional Damara (Namibian) song that praises the honey bee, A Bee Song brings Banco de Gaia together with the Future Pasts project to create an uplifting and vibrant track full of life and humanity. With an infectious groove and a buzzing bassline, the track is guaranteed to get heads nodding and feet moving. The motivation for this re-composition was to bring an indigenous praise so...

BANCO DE GAIA - My Little Country 03.11.2023

When I was a kid in the 70’s I remember seeing a TV programme about a guy who declared that an old naval platform somewhere off the coast of England was his own country. Many years later I was asked to contribute to the Outlaw Oceans project and thought this was a perfect subject for a track. As I don’t really do 70’s retro, apart from the odd prog rock cover, I decided to work the 70’s-style narr...
