I have recently found and fallen for this wonderful 7”/download that arrived late last year on the splendidly named California based label Fruits & Flowers. The Gabys are a UK duo and……… that’s literally everything I can find. How perfect. No hype, no drama, no promises. Just these four perfect moments in time.
This whole EP sounds like that brief moment when you first wake up, before you’ve realised it was all just a dream. I love the lyrics even if I can’t catch most of them. I love what their presence suggests, the rise and fall of melody against the metallic haze of guitar tells me everything I need to know.
Fans of the VU will find lots to love here, and anybody moved by the wonder of the current San Francisco underground will find its essence in abundance. There is a deep beauty contained within these four songs, but you have to be willing and open to finding it. A bit like life really. THAT is how important this stuff is.
Do you ever find yourself coming as the whole world seems to be going? Do you find it’s almost always the journey and hardly ever the destination? If so, this is your music.
Out now via Fruits & Flowers.
