Another one that I watched last night. Pretty cool to find an underground artist with under 5,000 views on his videos who has me watching full 16 minute performances and then looking up interviews about him.
I found one interview in Allston Pudding from last summer. They ask him about his genre and I thought it was interesting what he responded. He’s definitely got this gruff artist vibe going on:
AP: It’s funny you mention the wall-of-sound stuff because we wanted to ask about the internet-y chatter about this sort of “country-gaze” thing. Do you see yourself in that sort of continuum?
GF: I don’t think so to be honest. I don’t play country music or shoegaze, and I don’t really listen to shoegaze, so I’m not sure where that comes from. I guess I just don’t know how many people actually use that term in real life, it feels like some sorta subcultural term. I can see why people are talking about it with regards to my music, but the new songs I’m writing are a little bit different, and I don’t think they really fit with that whole thing, they’re definitely a departure.

@texastoasted I was at that Cheer Up Charlies show too! I think that might be where we met actually. I talked to him after his set about the genre thing, except I didn’t say country-gaze. I told him it sounds “genre-less.” And they said that’s what they’re going for.
