SINGLE PREMIERE: A Twenty-Two Letter Phrase – ‘Predisposition’

Australian musician Angus Gardiner (Papa Vs Pretty) takes listeners on a “stunning, thought-provoking journey” with Predisposition, the new single from his latest artistic project, A Twenty-Two Letter Phrase.

Premiering today via The Music, the track is taken from forthcoming debut EP Just Tell Me What I Gotta Do and was written while Gardiner was grieving a close friend.

“I wrote this song after reading the book Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor E Frankl,” Gardiner said.

“My psychologist recommended it and it was a transformative thing for me to read at a time when I was really struggling.

“Predisposition is a song that came out of quite deep existential feelings about what it means to exist, persist, and make the world how you might like it to be while accepting that it won’t ever be that way.

“Hopefully there are enough layers of metaphor that it means different things to different people.”

A beloved session muso, having lent his skills to the likes of Montaigne, Jarryd James, E^ST and more, Gardiner’s solo EP will drop on September 30 ahead of a live-stream launch event on October 1.
