Push

New out last week (in advance of an album, Diablo, in September) comes another floor shaker from Gabe Gurnsey, with Tilly Morris on vocals. Gabe's day job is half of Factory Floor but back in 2018 he released a solo album called Physical which was one of my favourites from that year, a record built around relentless Hacienda rhythms, warm, chunky synths and deadpan, veering on blank, vocals. The twin singles were massive highlights- Eyes Over and Harder Rhythm, the album soundtracking a night out gradually unfolding. 

This time around Gabe has gone back to similar sources and by the sounds of Push, come up with equally insistent and compelling results. Mid- 80s synth squiggles and rushes, a massive synthesised bassline, juddering programmed drums and Tilly's cool vox, icily declaring 'your touch is heaven... let's push together'. For the full fat version, you'll want to get the seven minute extended mix at Bandcamp. You might have twigged also from the surname and the looks of Tilly in the video below that she is daughter of New Order's Other Two, Stephen and Gillian Morris.
