The timing is ripe for a Gossip reunion, and Real Power heralds a new maturity and renewed sense of purpose for the trio. “What a way to come back after years of being gone: to come back strong and with purpose and so much joy and gratitude, but also getting out a lot of that fuck-the- world kind of energy,” says Blille.
“When we began, so much about Gossip was about running away-that was always in the music,” says Ditto. “We survived. We came from nothing, and we got the fuck out of there. And to be here 20 years later and still making music together is just incredible.”
The first time I heard Gossip was randomly selecting the debut album to listen to at the record store. Bought it right there. During covid our last record stores closed, but at least so many great bands and artists I missed are back 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I first heard them in 2003 after I randomly bought their second album, _Movement,_ and I immediately went back the next day to snag their first record. Been a fanatic ever since.
