Recorded in one sitting at San Francisco’s Tiny Telephone, Truth In Silence, the debut
album from Justin Gill, the
Australian songwriter behind Redvers,
arrives June 3rd. A prolific artist, Gill is already returning to the studio, having arrived back in the
U.S. as of this week to record a follow-up.
And if he wasn’t keeping himself busy enough, Gill will take time out to perform a solo set tonight in
Los Angeles at the Room 5 Lounge. More details here.
“I’m not a fan of traditional love songs,” Gill says, discussing “Impressions,” the latest single from Truth
In Silence which is now streaming
via the website for Canada’s largest music paper Exclaim!
“They seem to tackle the egotistical notion of human love rather than love as a
universal expression.” This notion
explains how “Impressions” started
off as a song about a girl that Gill
dated, but in his words, “turned into something completely different.”
Of the last-minute moments of creativity leading to
the marathon sessions for Truth In Silence, Gill says, “I only had the morning to
complete some crucial lyrics, but they seemed to come quick in an old Mission
District diner the morning of recording.”
Redvers arrives onto the music scene at a time when the world
needs more heart and less noise, and Gill
delivers this between the notes of the undulating rhythms and unassuming,
visceral prose of this collection of personal songs. The sound of the album couples the quiet
inspiration and literary backdrop of Gill’s
majestic Blue Mountain hometown and the realization of his dream of recording
in America.
“I was enraptured at the sense of freedom as I boarded
the plane,” he remembers of his trip to San Francisco to make the album. “I was
off to capture a special moment in time.”
Truth In Silence was produced by Ian Pellicci (Deerhoof, John Vanderslice, Wooden Wand) who captured the entire album in a single day.
“I was stunned how quickly it happened, but it just
poured out,” Gill says. “We had so
much time left, it allowed me to experiment a little,” he explains of the
scenario that led to Magik*Magik
Orchestra cellist Michelle Kwon’s
appearance on the recordings.
Truth In Silence arrives on June 3rd. The album’s first single “Laughing At Rainbows” is streaming now courtesy of The
405 and the “Laughing At
Rainbows” video can be seen courtesy of Performer
Magazine.
