    paper Gemini, LP by Echo Road

    Echo Road is retelling the story of Cain and Abel on their sophomore LP, Gemini, a cinematic rock and roll trip of glistening guitar solos, roaring riffs, incandescent vocal harmonies, and delicate horn and orchestra arrangements. Recorded at Shorefire Studio in Long Branch, NJ by Joe DeMaio (Bon Jovi, Skid Row), Gemini is a 12-track concept album that uses an allegory of Cain and Abel to illustrate the inner turmoil of an individual discovering good and evil within.
