Washington, D.C.-based dream-pop duo GEMS exude sophistication. Reminiscent of similar-sounding hazy acts Mazzy Star and Beach House without sounding like a direct copy, "Pegasus" is a bittersweet song about the inability to turn away from the pull of deep love. Lush and atmospheric, "Pegasus"' instrumentation-- sparkling synths, a slinky and sensual bass line, icy guitars-- makes this music to fuel the heartbroken and hopeful. Here, GEMS have found a promising balance of gentleness and sorrow.
