Fraser A Gorman arrives on our shores with a bagful of cool, funny, heartfelt, and super-infectious tunes, on debut album Slow Gum.
Although a core member of fellow Melbourner Courtney Barnett's Milk! Records label troupe and close pals and collaborator with King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizzard, Gorman cuts a dash entirely his own. He drinks deep from the well of wayward folk contemporaries such as Bill Callahan and Cass McCombs, while also genuflecting to heroes such as Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan.
Its lackadaisical charms bely Gorman's wryly affecting way with a lyric, however, as he sings tongue in cheek couplets over gorgeous slide guitar twangs and early offbeat melodies.
Fraser A Gorman has achieved a great deal in the past 12 months, firmly establishing himself as one of Australia's most promising rising talents. LP - With Download.
