Gordi – Head Rush
With just over three weeks to go to the release of her third album Like Plasticine , Australian indie-pop singer, songwriter and producer, Gordi, shares one final taste of the record with the John Congleton co-produced “Head Rush,” and announces a new purple vinyl colorway, available now via her online store.
Written by Gordi and produced alongside John Congleton, new song “Head Rush ”is fast-paced, intoxicating hit to the senses.
“I was sitting at my friend, Sarah’s, Wurlitzer in Los Angeles, playing the same thing over and over again and then Head Rush arrived. It was one of those songs that came in a flurry of words out of my mouth quicker than I could write them down. I was thinking about New York, a place where I’ve spent a lot of time over the years, where my friend used to live in a rundown place on Division St. Head Rush is about how everything comes to an end eventually. About having to grow up before you’re ready. That transition from reckless ecstasy to stability. From chaos to plans
“I finished this song with John Congleton in LA-we worked at a feverish pace, which was a perfect match for the energy of the song. You’ve gotta turn the last part up real loud.”– Gordi
The song comes with a video from Gordi’s long-time collaborator Madeleine Purdy; an abstract visual diary of Gordi’s musings on the chaos of New York and the accompanying emotional symbolism. Purdy reflects on the power of simplicity, saying, “With this video I just wanted to make it feel joyful and unceremonious. Casual and off the cuff.”
Last week Gordi was also announced as a late addition to Hinterland Festival in Iowa, featuring headliners Lana Del Rey and Tyler, The Creator. Currently touring Europe with Foster The People, Gordi will return to the UK and Europe later in the year for the Bryce Dessner curated Sounds From A Safe Harbour Festival and Residency in Cork Ireland, along with Reeperbahn Festival in Germany and a run of headline dates.
