In 2009, Spin Magazine voted Geographer one of “Three Undiscovered Bands You Need to Hear Now."  With the successful release of the 7" Kites and the new Animal Shapes EP, the band is already beginning to make an indelible mark on the ears of music fans worldwide. Animal Shapes builds on the synth-driven aesthetic of Kites. Flirting with darker, more esoteric underpinnings, this recording merges Geographer's aptitude for crafting beautiful, haunting melodies with their textural sounds and polyrhythmic energy. It marks an evolution of their distinct sound.

In the summer of 2005, after a series of deaths in the family, Michael Deni left his hometown in New Jersey for San Francisco. He spent the next several months with his guitar and a synthesizer he found on the street, turning the tragedy that drove him from home into songs rich with emotion and lush melodies. After the additions of cellist Nathan Blaz (previously in St. Vincent, on Sufjan Stevens’ Asthmatic Kitty label) and drummer Brian Ostreicher, Geographer spent the next year playing clubs around the Bay Area, crafting their songs into the driving, heart-pounding epics that make up Innocent Ghosts. Deni's angelic vocals soar above thumping dance tunes with highs and lows that are simple and beautiful in their delivery. After a packed album release party at San Francisco’s landmark Cafe du Nord that included members of Bright Eyes, and the privilege of being voted one of three “Undiscovered Bands You Need To Hear Now” by SPIN magazine, Geographer is poised on the brink of becoming one of the most exciting newcomers in Indie music.
