G2G – The Gherkin [LP]

"The latest release in our excavation of the Australian Underground, Lulu’s Sonic Disc Club brings you G2G’s much anticipated debut - ‘The Gherkin’.

Formed by the dirty old Harbour somewhere around 2018, G2G are a group with true gang mentality. A real brat pack. They’re a tight-knit unit with a starry-eyed lens on the relationship between life and rock and a language of their own.

Lead single ‘Pop Song’ delivers on its simple oath - anchored by playful vocals, post-punk riffage and not an ounce of fat in its two-min-twenty-five runtime. A timeless slice of pure pop bliss with shades of aforementioned Kleenex/LiliPut, the Raincoats and The Ramones’ almighty penchant for 60s Girl Groups. Mind you, their other songs will take you down different paths altogether - a maze to the centre of G2G’s world.

The laws of attraction feel central to G2G’s core philosophy. Every action generates a reaction. Every call has its response. If there’s a high, there’s a low. There are moments of beauty. Moments of lament. In-jokes. Universal truths. This is the day to day. A celebratory ode to getting through it. Repetition, repetition, repetition - it’s tradition. Looking through starry eyes to the other side. Hanging out."
