Things of the Heart is Gestures’ debut release and features three songs that were recorded in a basement in Delta, British Columbia within the span of four days. While recorded in one location, the underlying spirit and inspiration of the EP is sprawled all over geographically--a friend’s story of life in L.A. told in Seattle; a thin collection of Wilfred Owen poems lying conspicuously amidst a congested bookshop in Hong Kong; the gentle breathing of a girl whose figure is patterned by the morning light in a cold, lifeless dorm room in upstate New York. Collaged together as an EP these songs are unrooted in place, but anchored in things of the heart--love, longing, and loss. At it’s core, Things of the Heart is a singer-songwriter record dressed with textures that commute waves of emotional information and subtle flourishes that evoke new images with every listen. The EP is interested in the friction that comes from joining acoustic and electronic sounds, the energy that arises from different voices weaving in and out and floating in parallel, and the extraction of meaning from unfinished phrases."Amazing melodies...filled with strong emotions." 4/5 -- Canadian Beats"Shows a songwriter enjoying his craft." -- Underground Hong Kong
