Mourning Coffee Comes Alive with 'Gemini I' & 'Gemini II'

And a lyric video to boot...

Mourning Coffee is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey, formerly signed to Brink Records and Manic Kat Records, and former frontman of touring band The Foxfires. "Mourning Coffee", their self-titled record, was released in August 20th 2022. After playing numerous shows and accompanied by a band, their new single titled "Gemini I" and "Gemini II" dropped November 11th 2022.

"Gemini's archetype is known as The Twins, therefore I created 'Gemini I' & 'Gemini II'. There is no container big enough for all the different selves we hold. Both songs are the same yet expressed differently, which felt fitting since Gemini governs communication and connection. Both touch on these themes heavily, as the protagonist gets lost in an exchange of words with someone new. Even before meeting them, he's attracted to their energy. Given Gemini's element is air, both versions express a lightness musically, and much like air picks up, both get more intense as the relationship develops. While 'Gemini I' keeps things more intimate like a secret, 'Gemini II' allows itself to be more wild and free."
