Philly Local Phile: Mikronesia’s “Ancient Warning”

Tomorrow night marks the premier of Pangaea: When the Continents Were One, the ambitious new electronic opera by Mikronesia, aka Michael McDermott of Gemini Wolf. You can read The Key’s indepth interview with McDermott about the project here, and check out one of the songs in today’s XPN2 Philly Local Phile. “Ancient Warning” is one of the album’s poppiest moments – it’s soaring, David Bowie-esque melody sounds like nothing McDermott has done in any of his other musical outlets. Give it a listen below; tickets for the opera are available here.
