Album Review: Gordi - Clever Disguise

"Gordi's debut EP is simply a breath of fresh air, both sonically and thematically."

More Gordi Gordi

Gordi's debut EP is simply a breath of fresh air, both sonically and thematically.

Hailing from Sydney via regional NSW, the 22-year-old employs ponderous lyrics and layers-upon-layers of vocals against a rich palette of drums and breezy electronics. Excluding the rather overt similarity to Peter Gabriel's Come Talk To Me on Can We Work It Out, the EP is light of touch with youthful thoughtfulness rippling through, like the lyric on the brilliant Nothing's As It Seems: "Paint your face on with a smile, and say to them don't worry." If London Grammar made you excited about new music, so will Gordi.
