RUBY GILL
Regular price
$50.00 AUD
Sold out
DESCRIPTION:
Joburg-born, Naarm/Melbourne-based pianist, guitarist & singer-songwriter Ruby Gill (she/they) today shares her new album Some Kind Of Control, which earmarks an era of matured silliness and darker wit for the acclaimed artist, peeling back her layers to reveal a searingly intimate, body-focused, yet globally-relevant sophomore that's "cheekier, looser, gayer and even more raw". A powerful set of songs-as-explorations about control over her body, her queerness and her politic, reflecting a witty assuredness and unflinching honesty that can only come with time and a dedication to going to the end of every feeling, Some Kind Of Control features singles ‘Emmagen Creek’, ‘Touch Me There’, its eponymous lead single and focus track ‘The Flood’, and arrives ahead of Gill’s Kissing The People I Want To tour with dates across VIC, ACT & NSW this April & May inlcuding a sold-out Naarm show. Some Kind Of Control is out now.
Unflinching, lyric-driven and written largely alone - often in the bath - Some Kind of Control is immediate in its emotional pull, laced with intricate hooks and meticulously-crafted one-liners to live by, inviting multiple listens to absorb the intricacies of each poem-like world.
Carried by Ruby Gill’s distinctive voice and deceptively minimal instrumentation, with lots of slow builds and swelling choirs that captivate, transport and hold you, it was recorded with renowned producer Tim Harvey (Ella Hooper, Jade Imagine) on Wurundjeri Country, featuring Gill on piano and guitar, Jess Ellwood on drums and Lewis Coleman on bass, and a heavenly backing choir recorded at the Old Stone Hall in Beechworth of her found family, comprised of queer, female and gender-diverse local musicians Annie-Rose Maloney, Hannah McKittrick, Hannah Cameron, Jess Ellwood, Angie McMahon, and Olivia Hally (Oh Pep!).
