the galleria: calling card/mezzanine

The Galleria is a large indoor shopping mall with a full arcade and food court. Strawberry lip gloss is on sale. These are your sticky years. The Galleria is a project from Morgan Geist (Storm Queen, Metro Area) that ripples with echoes of the indigenous music of long-gone New Jersey malls and NYC radio stations: bombastic freestyle, club dubs, razor-edits, and bubblegum-pop R&B. This debut features vocals from Jessy Lanza, whose debut album, Pull My Hair Back (Hyperdub), was shortlisted for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize. Each title features a dancefloor-friendly dub with plenty of jump-cuts for the forward-thinking nostalgic.
