Well folks, I knew i should've posted this album sooner. It's such a shame that i'm posting it now. Quoted as being Perth's best hidden secret, GAZEY were a 5 piece, Pop, Lofi, Indie, R&B band. Specializing in realizing a sound akin to the hypnagogic state you are in just before you fall asleep. Consisting of :
Caleb Andrews - Bass (Not credited as being apart of this album/check bandcamp info)
Ezra Padmanabham - Drums
Ryan Thomas - Guitar
Ezekiel Padmanabham - Keyboards/Vocals
Josiah Padmanabham - Keyboards/Vocals
The Band emerged onto the Perth scene in late 2017, playing their first gig at Badlands. Slowly building a collection of there own songs, with intense support from local Radio station RTRFM. With them finishing 2019 on top of RTR's most played list, with Sleep coming in at #1 and River not far off at #13. Which is where I first found them. I really loved sleep last year, I ended up using the song as the background piece for a video on my main channel (Goof luck finding it ;) although that video in particular isn't very good).
On the 15th of February via a Facebook post, it was revealed that the band was breaking up. With two of the Padmanabham brothers, Ezra and Ezekiel leaving to pursue other ventures. All the power to them. It is also worthwhile to point out that Josiah also happens to be a member of another amazing Perth group, who I've shared an album of on this channel previously, Grievous Bodily Calm. So be sure to check them out. In 2019 I did manage to see GAZEY play, once, at In The Pines. If you're from Perth they have one last show coming up in their current group, on the 26th with Airline Food at The Bird. Before Josiah and Ryan plan to take a few months off to focus on writing. I honestly the band was completely toast, but i guess i just didn't read the full post properly, ah well.
This album, Sole was released on October 2nd 2019. With core themes of isolation in different environments, as well as shifting between nostalgic influences and contemporary emotions. Something endearing about this album was how it was recorded. With each song being "DIY, so that each song could be handwoven and unique”
Favourite song - Alps
This song totally made me think of Childish Gambino with a spoonful of UMO, really cool
