GIO isn’t a dancefloor goth. He writes gothic rock that tells stories, so look for the meaning, the warning, the moral. But if you can dance to Bela Lugosi’s Dead, you can dance to GIO.
Eleonora is out today. She is the one who lets go.

Track 1 is Morella, a wife who dies but doesn't really leave, returning through her own daughter. It sets the tone for the whole record. #Semprevive #GIO #MorellaRecords #GothicRock #Poe
Eleonora doesn't build to a climax, it just breathes. Four days out.
Proceeds from every Semprevive single are pledged to Poe Baltimore. Madeline's out, Eleonora lands October 15. #Semprevive #GIO #MorellaRecords #ProtectPoeHouse
GIO stood outside Gunner's Hall in Baltimore in 1849 when Poe was found, not permitted in. He carries losses like that into every song, Eleonora included. Ten days out.
