Gawjuss – Gawjuss EP (Clue Records)
Gawjuss - Gawjuss EP
Release Date: 8th March 2019
Good ol’ Clue Records have done
it again with the self-titled debut EP from Gawjuss (ex-Forever Cult frontman),
yet more fantastic music from the Leeds based label. The four-track collection opens
up with ‘No Reset’ which has a dark, edgy underbelly with angular guitars that
twitch and jerk from the shadows which gives you a slightly uneasy feeling from
the get-go. Recent single ‘Drive’ is up next and the energy is maintained with
those guitars straight out of a Pyscho rock-opera and the muttered, murderous
lyrics giving Lou Reed a run for his money (not that anyone has ever seen Lou
Reed run, right?).
On ‘Young Losers’ Gawjuss develops
a more driving energy with a Queens of the Stone Age vibe thanks to the low
tuned guitars and smooth, effortless vocals. ‘Pressure’ is the final song and
is classed as a bonus track which kinda makes sense as it has a really
different vibe to the other tracks with a loose, jam-like quality keeping the
drums rolling while the guitar pulses and pings. Kieran Wade Clarke is the
one-man-show behind Gawjuss and he’s clearly got a butt load of ideas rolling around
in his noggin which makes this not only an incredibly impressive debut but a tantalising
taste of what’s to come.
