Ava Luna’s Felicia Douglass crafts elastic r’n’b as Gemma, shares title track from debut LP As Ever

The duo’s debut album is out this fall.

Felicia Douglass is best known for her work in the excellent experimental rock band Ava Luna, but she’s also contributed to a wide range of projects including Mr. Twin Sister and Toro Y Moi. Recently, a one-off collaboration with producer Erik Gundel has expanded into an exciting new project called Gemma.

Later this year the duo will release their debut album, As Ever, October 2 through Inflated Records and today we’re sharing the excellent title track. It’s a delicate, careful combination that finds Douglass’ heartfelt voice melding to Gundel’s bleary, DJ Koze-like melody perfectly. It makes for a sound that feels exploratory and airtight all at once.

Listen to ‘As Ever’ below and preorder Gemma’s album through their Bandcamp.
