Having previously stormed the European airwaves in the summer of 2003 with their smash hit Bye Bye Superman, experimentalist dance-pop duo Geyster, return with Under the Fuse of Love, the first single off their new album Everytime I See Your Face.
Whilst setting a high standard for themselves with their past success, Under the Fuse of Love also looks set to rise to the challenge, with rumours circulating that this transcendent piece of sun-drenched Parisian house is set for number one in the dance charts. And whilst breezing through every night-club across Europe this summer, this instant club classic also has the capacity to become a firm favourite on the radio waves, and truly add to Geyster’s summer legacy.

Similarly across the whole of Everytime I See Your Face, their love of 70s/80s Californian pop, and traditional jazz melodies are applied to contemporary programmed dance beats, in what results in simply blissful dance-pop with a romantic edge.
Although stating that Geyster’s influences can be drawn from anywhere or anything, Gael often relates the music to the inspiration behind the group’s alluring name:
“I found out that in American English a geyser is sometimes called a geyster, and I really like the idea of those natural hot water fountains popping out in the middle of nowhere. I relate it to the idea of inspiration/creation, this kind of energy coming out of the unknown…
