The Midlands four-piece follow up on their stunning debut single 'Loose Canyon' with 'We'. Recorded in 2020, can it stand up to their fine start?
You can buy the single on their Bandcamp page.
The scintillating guitars of 'Feel A Whole Lot Better' saunter across West Coast landscapes with ease and an elegance that is simply undeniable. Splicing in Gene Clark's country-tinged masterpiece 'No Other' lifts 'We' to another dimension.
What cuts through and prevents this from being just a pastiche are Gudg's vocals. The cuteness of Beth Arzy (Aberdeen / Luxembourg Signal / Jetstream Pony) chimes with the alt-pop vibrancy of Maria Eriksson to conjure something truly unique.
The Gabriels have now released two singles of the utmost quality in 2021. Their debut album is shaping up to feature on many end of year lists.
