Biography

Geshem is a supergroup made of three of the busiest musicians in the Israeli scene: Drummer Aviv “Sol Monk” Cohen is a virtuoso drummer and a spacey beat maker, Shuzin is a cross-genre shapeshifting producer, and Yonatan Albalak is one of the busiest guitar and bass players in Israel. After years of collaborating with A-list musicians (Avishai Cohen, Marina Maximilian, Kutiman, Ester Rada, etc.) the three have merged their distinctive artistic personas to create Geshem. Crowned as the pioneers of the psychedelic-electro-post-rock scene Geshem's unique musical style draws influences from Post-Rock, Trip-hop and IDM, constantly shifting moods and colors in both their studio works and their critically acclaimed super-charged live concerts. In 2018 they released their highly regarded debut album Sungazing on Ghostown Records - composed, produced, performed and recorded by the band members in their home studios. Alongside their own music, Geshem often take the role of re-arrangers. Over the past few years they have presented groundbreaking adaptations to Jazz standards, Portishead 's live orchestral album and Gershwin's opera “Porgy and Bess”. Geshem are currently working on their second studio album, to be released in winter 2020.
