Chimerical Melbourne singer-songwriter Fletcher Gull unleashes his kaleidoscopic new EP ‘Remember That You’re Gone’ today, following the release of lead singles ‘Hypothermia’ and the KCRW, triple j and CLASH premiered ‘Deciduo’.
Fletcher is a multi-faceted talent with a lust for literature and a fondness for following ideas down twisted rabbit holes, his music is at once arresting and deeply meditative. It’s no surprise, then that each track tells a multiplicity of stories, further establishing Gull as a prismatic source of psychedelic indie-pop.
‘Hypothermia’ finds transcendental beauty in the freezing climes of the Canadian Rockies amid shambolic, rollicking drums and plinking keys, meanwhile, ‘February’ wraps a tale of unrequited teenage love into a starkly moving piano ballad. ‘Eleven Dollars’ revisits an ancient long-distance relationship against the backdrop of religious fervour and programmed beats., whilst ‘Quicksand’, a song so personal that Gull won’t even discuss its origins, is a late-moment stunner, with aching melodies flanked by strings. Finally ‘Deciduo’ encapsulates the marvel of an everyday moment, reimagining a tree framed by a sinking sun as a technicoloured encounter with sublime beauty, featuring a melody that burrows itself into the brain and finds itself a home, shimmering with ethereal instrumentation.
Produced and mixed by Japanese Wallpaper, Remember That You’re Gone EP is a disarming cocktail of sweeping keys, multi-tracked guitars, disembodied vocal samples and double-octave harmonies, marking an exciting and colourful new chapter. Fletcher Gull’s unique brand of whimsical storytelling is connecting across continents, catching the attention of BBC Radio’s 1 Introducing host Abbie McCarthy. She admitted she’d been ‘a bit obsessed’ with Fletcher Gull at BIGSOUND 2019. The singles also saw addition to triple j Unearthed rotation, airplay on triple j, extensive reviews and Spotify playlisting.
On stage, Fletcher Gull and his band are swiftly sucking crowds into their thrilling and unpredictable live vortex. To celebrate the release of Remember That You’re Gone, Fletcher and band played their first show of 2020 last night in Melbourne and perform at Yulli’s Brewery in Sydney tomorrow. Fletcher then embarks on a six-date run with Alex The Astronaut throughout April.
Fletcher Gull’s debut EP Remember That You’re Gone is OUT NOW.
