Following the announcement of their debut album Tracing Faces out Friday 7 August via ADA Worldwide and the release of new single Blur, today Great Gable shares the majestic album track I Wonder. The Perth four-piece will celebrate this October and November on their biggest tour of Australia and New Zealand to date.
I Wonder is a sprawling, soulful journey blooming with lush layers and rich textures. “The song is a snapshot of the first couple weeks of dating someone and not knowing how they feel,” says lead singer and guitarist Alex Whiteman of the track.
The track follows on from the hypnotic and buoyant new single Blur which claimed the #2 most played position on triple j, and their addictive lead single All My Friends.
Tracing Faces sees Great Gable’s classic sound augmented and empowered by producers Alex Heriksson and Matt Corby. Recorded at The Music Farm in Byron Bay, their debut LP is upbeat, yet dreamy, lush and vulnerable as it tackles themes of love, heartbreak and mental health.
“Recording at The Music Farm surrounded by nature definitely influenced the overall vibe of the album,” says bassist Chris Bye of the recording process. “Working with Alex Henriksson and Matt Corby was incredible, they are such legends. They helped us bring out the best in our songs and really inspired us,” adds drummer Callum Guy.
This October and November, Great Gable will perform in Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, with new dates added in Byron Bay, Wollongong, Hobart, Torquay and Maroochydore. They will also travel across the Tasman sea for shows in Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington. Perth nu-soul R&B producer Jamilla will accompany Great Gable on the tour to open all shows. Melbourne-based Velvet Bloom will deliver her unique blend of jazz, pop and soul to all Australian shows. Additional special guests will be announced in due course.
Great Gable has quickly amassed a fervent, die-hard fanbase following the 2019 release of The Lazy Bones EP featuring singles I Swear and Cool Mind Blue. 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.
