Gemini was written before there were Wild Nothing fans or even a live band; Nocturne is different. The obsessiveness of Nocturne is inherent in it"s gentle harmonies, orchestrated synths, wandering voice, and songs that speak of his post-Gemini experiences as he explores new paradoxes of pop. And yet Nocturne isn"t obvious, it is a strange and distinctive musical beast, the product of an obsessive pop vision that creates its own reality.
