Synth-pop luminary Geographer recently released his newest album, Down and Out In The Garden Of Earthly Delights, an 18 track voyage of synth-pop bliss. Formed in San Francisco, Geographer is the moniker for now Los Angeles-based artist Mike Deni. Earlier this month he announced a headlining U.S. tour that will launch in San Francisco on March 8th and includes stops in Chicago, Boston, New York, and more before wrapping on April 16th in Phoenix, AZ.\xa0 He is also confirmed for Treefort Festival and for the Just Like Heaven Festival 2022.

ABOUT THE ALBUM & GEOGRAPHER:

\u201cI hit a ceiling in San\xa0 Francisco. I was writing a lot more songs with people in LA, so I moved down. I didn\u2019t really have any friends and just spent way too much time alone, making music. I wasn\u2019t thriving, I was surviving. Everything feels possible here. That\u2019s the vibe of LA: You\u2019ve made it to paradise! You should be really happy...and then nobody is. There\u2019s a lot of darkness \u2014you have to sift through everything to find your own path,\u201d remarks Deni. While recording his album,\xa0engineer\xa0 Jules de\xa0 Gasperis showed him an image of the famed, 15th-century triptych painting \u201cThe Garden of Earthly Delights,\u201d depicting alternate realities of paradise, hell, and reality. \u201cIt\u2019s like, why are we all so bummed out? We are all miserable.\xa0 And\xa0 we\u2019re\xa0 in\xa0 paradise.\u201d And thus, Down and Out in the Garden of Earthly Delights\u2014recorded between Spring and Winter of 2019 \u2014was born. Part social scientist, part troubadour, if Geographer is an expert at anything, it\u2019s precisely chronicling life\u2019s imperfections. He has headlined many national tours,\xa0played\xa0Outside Lands,\xa0Firefly,\xa0and\xa0other festivals, released two critically acclaimed albums, and performed with such musical luminaries as K.Flay, The Flaming Lips, Young The Giant, Tycho, Ratatat, Betty Who, and Tokyo Police Club.
