Written while living in London, the Copenhagen-based songwriter and producer spent weeks cutting up copies of Metro — one of the city’s free newspapers — to form the lyrical foundation of the songs. In makeshift studios, he began bringing these ideas to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere GB’s debut record was shrouded in a downtempo haze, \u003cem\u003eHerzsprung\u003c\/em\u003e creates a distinct sound that pushes outward: something more melodic, more full-throated, and more assured. The album draws together a wide spectrum of influences; from the groove-driven fusion jazz of the 1970s to Japanese noise-rock psychedelia, anthemic grunge, and outsider pop. There are traces of the alt-pop qualities that GB shares with his Copenhagen peers, but you hear London’s influence too, an urge to stretch rock tradition and break with form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter finding himself improbably cast in a viral Jaguar ad in 2024, he used the money to book out a studio villa in the Swedish wilderness, joined by a band of trusted musicians. Over the course of a week, the songs — which had previously existed as memos and notebook scribbles — took full shape through live performance and collective instinct. Tracked largely live to 24-track tape, the result is a record that feels immediate and playful in its execution. It captures the chemistry of an uncompromising band brimming with ideas and welcoming spontaneity. Herzsprung sifts through the past and present with urgency, cutting it open so that the future leaks out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the record's climax, “Shit River”, GB is backed by a full choir as he screams for \"someplace beaming with more colors”. “..and everything in between collapsed, rushing floods of insignificance”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AD 93","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":57364674281803,"sku":"R9923-2948","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57364674314571,"sku":"R9923-7664","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/GB-Herzsprung.jpg?v=1779120981"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/gb.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
