Today I have some more dark, atmospheric music for you lot. This time from the sunny West Coast of the USA. Geko were a female duo formed in Los Angeles in the late 80's. They released a nifty 7" EP on red vinyl in 1991. It's tough to find pertinent info online info, but a Last.FM comment states: Reviewers have called the music “fluid, dark, beautiful, ethereal, erotic, hypnotic… tough sounds that combine to create an introspective experience.”
I bought their CD about ten years ago. Listen, and go track down a copy of it and the 7" for yourself. You'll be glad you did.
Members:
Sarah Folkman: vocalist, bassist & drum machine programmer.
Carrie McNinch: guitarist & drum machine programmer.
Carrie also did some artwork for the Open IV compilation 7" EP which contains "A Toxic Life" by Geko. Their 1992 CD "Join My Pretty World" comprises the "Probing The Gash In Her Head" EP from 1991, as well as a track from the sampler. I have scanned the 7" sleeve, insert, and even the 1" button that came with the red vinyl single and included those in the download..
"Probing the Gash in Her Head" EP (1991)
Tracks:

2. I Never Knew Any of This
3. Nameless
4. When We Were Very Young

I could really go for a full listen to the 1990 LP by Marilyn's Army, "Golden Paradise." Anyone have a rip to contribute to the blog?

As a point of fact in the mornings it's usually overcast with ocean fog here in Los Angeles. I'm just sayin'...
I love this 7".

This is amazing! Thanks so much. Your blog is fantastic. I was able to get a copy of this 7" on ebay. :)
does anyone know where i can find a copy of thier 1986 6-song demo???
Jeff,
DO you know the tracks? I'd hope those songs are on the CD with the EP, but finding a demo with ~other~ songs would be the tits!
