Event Details

"Fraser A. Gorman's bio reads like rock n' roll folklore. A 23 year old kid who looks like a teenage Bob Dylan, a full time carpenter obsessed with the history of American rock n' roll, expressing himself through wry poetry, bent tropicalia, country-soul and rock.   A core member of the inimitable Milk! Records label, and close pals and collaborators with the likes of Courtney Barnett, Jen Cloher, Davey Lane, Dorsal Fins and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Fraser Alexander Gorman is finally cutting a dash entirely his own.   After releasing a flurry of singles and an EP since 2012, now Fraser Alexander Gorman's collection of cool-as-fuck, funny, heartfelt and super-infectious tunes have finally come to fruition on his debut album titled 'SLOW GUM' - which will be released in Australia through Milk! Records and Caroline on Monday June 29th.   Following on from the gorgeous, sardonic, downbeat witticisms of his last single "Book of Love", Fraser A. Gorman has now released a second track from the forthcoming album, returning with another irresistible slice of sun-baked, cracked-heart heaven in the form of "Broken Hands".   It's lackadaisical charms belie Gorman's wryly affecting way with a lyric however, as he sings tongue-in-cheek couplets such as 'I got no soul/ cos country music sounds to me like rock and roll' over gorgeous slide guitar and warmly offbeat melodies.   A stirring diary entry about rock music and vulnerability in the 21st Century 'Broken Hands' is just another example of why the debut album from Fraser A Gorman is definitely one to get excited about."
