Banks’ ‘Gemini Feed’ is a dark synthwave take on ’90s R&B

The second song from Banks’ forthcoming album The Altar (September 30th), ‘Gemini Feed’ is a cross between ’90s-era R&B (Brandy and Monica’s ‘The Boy Is Mine’ has the same marimba style) and the heady synth style that producer Sohn brings to the table.

First single ‘Fuck With Myself’ was a little close to FKA Twigs for comfort but this is a nice middleground.
