About This Item
Low Carbon Vinyl, 45 RPM, Includes BONUS TRACK (vinyl only), Lyric sheet. Australian indie and garage-rock firebrand, Gimmy unveils her new EP Labour of Love - a raw, emotionally charged collection that fuses gritty indie rock, post-punk bite and tender poetic expression, all powered by Gemma Owens' unmistakable vibrato and fiercely honest songwriting.Where her 2024 debut Things Look Different Now was a slow-burn, two-to-three-year voyage of change and introspection, Labour of Love hits with an entirely new force intuitive, immediate and deeply connected to Owens' emotional world. Written over six months and captured in an intense 4-5 day studio burst with producer Sam Joseph (King Gizzard), the EP moves with the urgency of something that needed to be felt and heard, right away.Across seven compelling tracks, Gimmy dives into social anxiety, grief, falling in love and the chaotic beauty of everyday life, with each song arriving Inchon it's own termsInch - born from late-night home writing sessions, snippets of inspiration while travelling and moments of full-band electricity. Sonically, Labour of Love nods to Soft Play, Nick Cave, Fontaines D.C., The Preatures and The Smiths, yet remains unmistakably Gimmy expressive, gritty, vulnerable, cheeky and alive in every moment. Ultimately, the EP is an unfiltered snapshot of emotional truth, celebrating life's highs, lows and everything in between, and showcasing Gimmy at her most dynamic, powerful and compelling to date.
