This Friday 7 August, Perth four-piece Great Gable will release their highly anticipated debut album Tracing Faces via ADA Worldwide. Featuring the hypnotic and buoyant single Blur which claimed the #2 most played position on triple j, their addictive lead single All My Friends and recent album track I Wonder, their debut LP is upbeat, yet dreamy, lush and vulnerable as it tackles themes of love, heartbreak and mental health.
Written in a cabin among the Karri forests and a Chestnut Farm in the south west of Western Australia, and recorded at The Music Farm in Byron Bay, Tracing Faces is an album that fully reflects the solid relationship that the band have after years of writing and touring together. The result is a collection of music that showcases the incredible range and influence of the band, with their classic sound augmented and empowered by producers Alex Henriksson and Matt Corby.
Great Gable has quickly amassed a fervent, die-hard fanbase following the 2019 release of The Lazy Bones EP. Renowned for their mesmerising and commanding live performance, they’ve supported the likes of Ocean Alley, The Jungle Giants, Thelma Plum and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and performed festival sets at Groovin The Moo, Falls Festival and SOTA Fest.
"...a dreamy take on their rich indie-pop that balances the bands potent vocals with hearty guitar melodies.."
