Josh Berwanger of influential emo vets The Anniversary always seems to have more and more new projects in the works, and now he's leading a new band called Gemini Parks. They have an album due in 2023, and since August, they've released two songs -- "Up All Night" and "Price You Pay" -- and we're now premiering their third, "Animals." The album was made in collaboration with producer Jarod Evans (who's also worked with The Flaming Lips, Sufjan Stevens, and more), and it's got Mitch Hewlit on drums and J-Swamp on bass. Penny Pitchlynn (of BRONCHO and LABRYS) sings backup on the first two singles, while the new song features the children from the KC Kelly Family Singers and backing vocals from Hot Rod Circuit bassist Jason Russell.
