Ides Of Gemini Posts "Seer Of Circassia" Music Video

"Old World New Wave" is the latest long player from West Coast shadowy sound conjurors Ides Of Gemini.

Released in September via Neurot Recordings, the follow-up to the "Constantinople" debut was recorded at Valley Recording in Burbank, California, engineered and mixed by Chris Rakestraw (Danzig), mastered by Grammy award winning producer Matt Hyde (Slayer) and offers up nine tracks of dark, mesmerizing soundscrapes.

In celebration of its release, Vice's music gateway, Noisey, reveals the occult conjurings of the Daciana Birladeanu-directed "Seer Of Circassia" video. Check it out below.

Elaborates singer/bassist Sera Timms, "The concept of the album traces the symbolic-psychological breakdown of a character over ten days ['Seer Of Circassia' takes place on day four]. We're working within the structures of psycho-spiritual alchemical transformation, utilizing Carl Jung's school of analytical psychology. Essentially we have a story of the psychological conflict of opposing forces -- yin-yang, male/female/dark light, etc. -- each driven by desire.

"The masculine archetype in this story desires control and structure, while the feminine archetype desires recognition and equality as it has been repressed in the 'Old World.' Our protagonist is the Emperor, based creatively on the last Emperor of Constantinople, who represents the ego, masculine, solar consciousness along with control, structure, domination, force and power."
