Sol Gems

Sol Gems at Vans Psych Night

The first time I saw Sol Gems was at a Psych Night at Arcade Empire. A three piece band always grabs my attention when it doesn’t sound like three egos pummelling into each other. There were no musical masturbatory solos or overstated attempts at being the sore thumb of acquired taste. They were a tight knit unit of simple ideas and good tone. Their sound harks to many ethereal-sounding influences like Tame Impala, MGMT and assorted 60s bands. They call it Sungaze.

This outfit is definitely one to look out for on the South African scene.
