Warm Gospel at the Vaudeville Mews

The Warm Gospel label was created based on the concept of recreating the grand, layered spectrum of gospel music using the contemporary ideas and tools of electronic, noise, and ambient music. The result is something new. Over the past year, Warm Gospel has collected releases from many of Iowa's beat and noise makers, including DJ DJ TANNER, Tires, Olsen Twinns, Juxwl, and others. In combining these artists under a single label, Warm Gospel has established a foundation of rumbling noise, tidal waves of synth, and layers of clouded harmonies in a part of Iowa where, previously, experimental music was never fully realized as an important part of the state's overall music output.

On December 18th, the Vaudeville Mews will showcase nearly every artist on the Warm Gospel label, bringing an entire night of electronic sound exploration to Des Moines.

Warm Gospel 15: Olsen Twinns (now Is Home Is) - Found Things (c47)

Olsen Twinns - Found Things c47

“Unfortunately, Mickey Davis (who is Olsen Twinns) was recently asked politely by lawyer types to quit using the name Olsen Twinns, and has transmogrophied into a new moniker, Is Home Is.

Found Things is a collection of music that is largely ambient, but also wouldn't be out of place on the dance floor, especially if you cranked it up loud. And right when it may be heading towards Eno territory, it suddenly burbles up with a melody or intertwining sample and synth harmonies that show this music has foundations in songcraft.”
