Frenchy and the Punk Gear Geist is available on Zen Ghost LP, Apple Music, Deezer

Have you laid ears on NY, NY duo Frenchy and the Punk’s acclaimed post-pandemic opus, ‘Zen Ghost’ LP? A set best described on the outfit’s Bandcamp page as, “… written and recorded during the pandemic-induced downtime of 2020-2021, finds the already shadowy sound of the hard-touring twosome taking an even darker turn. An inward spin, into the pair’s previously unexplored personal planes and interpretations of the insanity of our increasingly tumultuous age. But despite its more pronounced moodiness, Zen Ghost, like the rest of the band’s oeuvre, offers plenty of opportunities to dance in the darkness.”

Heady, for sure. But among the captivating arrangements and compelling and at times off-center verses of the 10-track album is an enchanting mostly instrumental song called “Gear Geist”. Layered with a smorgasbord of instrumentation, otherworldly wails, and vibrations mystérieuses, this one has been known to cause spontaneous freeform dances at the duo’s concerts around the globe. As if the magic of this number’s grooves is summoning from another realm. Magnetic.

Whether you’ve already delved fully into the entire ‘Zen Ghost‘ LP or not, find a spot in the woods and get lost in the sonic powers of “Gear Geist”, here at the GTC.
