Australian musician Gordi is set to release her new album ‘Like Plasticine’ later this year.
Scheduled to drop on May 30th through Mushroom Music, ‘Like Plasticine’ marks Gordi’s third studio album, showcasing the artist's authentic expression.
The singer will perform at the prominent Brighton showcase The Great Escape for a pair of special shows, and has given fans a taste of the album with a new track.
Now available, ‘Peripheral Lover’ features Gordi – also known as Sophie Payten – delving into themes of desire. Inspired by a hot summer day in Nashville, the song was finalized at her workspace in Australia, presenting captivating snippets of uncontained pop yearning, as she reflects…
During a summer in Nashville a few years back, it was incredibly hot. I found myself contemplating the early stages of queer relationships – I mean really early, when at least one person is still in the closet. It’s about accepting the love that is within reach instead of letting it stay distant. There comes a point of reckoning, a demand for honesty – and the relationship either bursts into the open or gradually fades away into nothingness. These reflections led to the creation of ‘Peripheral Lover.’
It’s a straightforward song with a clear message, which is why I wrote KISS (keep it simple, stupid) on a post-it note and stuck it at my desk in Melbourne, while I layered guitars, synths, and drums. It captures my most ‘pop’ essence – both frightening and incredibly enjoyable.
The music video, directed by Jared Frieder, takes Gordi through the streets of Dallas, Texas. The singer fully embraces the song’s message of accepting all forms of love, featuring herself in a kissing booth around Dallas. She remembers…
We invited non-male queer individuals in Dallas willing to join the shoot and kiss a complete stranger – naturally, a large number of people showed up (and they all hung out for drinks afterward, which filled my heart with joy).
Check it out now.
