Gordi ruminates on states of transition with "Head Rush"
Australian singer-songwriter and producer Gordi – aka Sophie Payten – has shared "Head Rush" as final track to be shared in advance from her forthcoming album, Like Plasticine.
"I was sitting at my friend, Sarah's, Wurlitzer in Los Angeles, playing the same thing over and over again and then Head Rush arrived. It was one of those songs that came in a flurry of words out of my mouth quicker than I could write them down," Gordi explains.
"I was thinking about New York, a place where I've spent a lot of time over the years, where my friend used to live in a rundown place on Division St. Head Rush is about how everything comes to an end eventually. About having to grow up before you're ready. That transition from reckless ecstasy to stability. From chaos to plans."
"Head Rush" follows a string of cuts from the album, beginning with "Lunch At Dune" from Gordi’s EP of the same name last year and quickly followed up with "Alien Cowboy", "Peripheral Lover", "Cutting Room Floor", "PVC Divide" (feat. Anaïs Mitchell), and "GD (Goddamn)".
Like Plasticine will be released on 8 August via Mushroom Music.
