Memory Ivy by GOSTO
After his release of two EP’s in the last two years, Roel Gosto Vermeer has obviously stepped up his game. With ‘Memory Ivy’ he has really put his whole heart into it. And that heart is pomping, breathing, shaking and very much alive. His music is intense and profound, dark and light-hearted. You want to start dancing and close your eyes and lay down in the marram grass at the same time. GOSTO picks you up and let’s you float on a nostalgic, almost psychedelic trip. He unites contradictions to a warm, uplifting mix that leaves nobody unmoved.
Inspired by musicians such as Flying Lotus, James Blake, Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley, GOSTO succeeds to combine a variety of styles into a whole new authentic sound. Underneath the first introduction you’ll find warm bases, raw beats, deep synths and pure soul, all interconnected by the dark, almost hypotic voice of Roel.
This multi-instrumentalist writes, sings, composes and produces all his songs himself. Supported by his strong lyrics and talented live band, GOSTO guides you through his world: his travels, his chaos and is unconditional love for music.

Roel GOSTO Vermeer is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer. His debut album Memory Ivy (2016) put him on the map in one fell swoop and took him from Germany to Japan - from De Wereld Draait Door to shows with Jamie Lidell, Oscar and the Wolf and Thomas Dybdahl. GOSTO’s second album 'What Do You Mean, You Need a Color TV' (2019) brought more soul, lightness and tempo to the music.
