“Featherlight funk, smooth beats and a breezy summer vibe combine.” – The Observer, Hot Tracks
“The US-Ecudorian singer has been a cult fave for more than a decade but this joyously funky dream-pop single will surely break him to a wider crowd.” – The Guardian, Film&Music Playlist
“A prismatic dance-floor strut… It’s a reminder to embrace tenderness and affection – in love, but also in our relationship to a world still coming to terms with a year of grief.” – New York Times, Playlist
“Helado Negro is the very definition of soul… ‘Gemini And Leo’ has a sweetness missing from music in 2021.” – The FADER, 10 Songs You Need In Your Life
“A summer jam full of joyous proclamation and movement.” – Pitchfork

‘Gemini And Leo’ is the acclaimed lead single on Helado Negro’s upcoming album Far In which will be released on 22 October. Far In is Helado Negro’s first album on 4AD and the seventh full-length album in his catalogue. It follows his breakthrough 2019 release This Is How You Smile.
“Escape is never out there, you have to go inward,” Roberto reflects on developing an epic Helado Negro double album during these extraordinary times, embracing the dark of the unknown with openness, pleasure, and growth. Throughout Roberto’s career, imagined beings, ghosts and haunted machines appear in sci-fi stories and his own conjurings. On Far In, Roberto says he “celebrates the ghosts,” embracing pleasure and freedom to follow the metaphysical further.
Far In will be available digitally and on CD, standard black vinyl and Rose Quartz vinyl (Vinyl Me, Please exclusive) on 22 October. Pre-order Far In from heladonegro.ffm.to/farin
