Gregor - SILVER DROP [VINYL LP] date 10/12/2018

Destiny is the second album by Australian prog-pop eccentric Gregor.It takes the spacious, inquisitive pop of his acclaimed debut SilverDrop and puts it through a warped filter.Destiny is a lovesick epic, filled with melodies turning obsessive, linesrepeating until they become mantras, and production expandinglogarithmically. Beginning with the gentle beauty of The Rock (and theStars), the album grows progressively haunted, with images reflectingand refracting until Gregor's much-loved bedroom pop is completelyreimagined.Destiny is a post-modern take on the concept album, sifting throughevery example from Dark Side of the Moon to My Beautiful Dark TwistedFantasy to create something wholly new.In 2018, the spacious, acerbic pop of Silver Drop introduced Gregortothe wider world. Touching single A Song About Holding Hands became aglobal couple's favourite, and Gregor sold out every headline show heplayed through 2018-19. Silver Drop was album of the week acrossAustralian community radio, and Gregor was nominated for BestAlbum and Best Solo Artist in the 2019 Music Victoria Awards

Melbourne pop eccentric Gregor releases his fourth album Satanic Lullabies, his deepest and darkest record yet.In the years since his first album, 2016's Thoughts & Faults, Gregor's music has got progressively odder, more challenging and more rewarding. The spacious, acerbic pop of Silver Drop (2018), featuring touching single A Song About Holding Hands, was followed by the lovesick Destiny (2020), which put Gregor's inquisitive pop through a warped filter.Now Satanic Lullabies has polar extremes of wide-eyed innocence and deep despair. There are moments of great musical beauty that segue into harsh, bleak soundscapes. InchI'm seeking to draw attention to the similarities between heaven and hell,Inch says Gregor, Inchand to comfort anyone who recognises these.InchSatanic Lullabies is a modern epic, a bedroom odyssey, like if pre-MAGA Kanye made a Disney soundtrack.Gregor's live show ranges from solo mode up to a ten piece band, and he has played festivals such as Golden Plains, Dark Mofo, Inner Varnika, Boogie and The Others Way (NZ). He was nominated for Best Album and Best Solo Artist in the 2019 Music Victoria Awards, and Best Pop Act in 2021.
