Clever Disguise Official Sale Online

Where is this generation’s “In Your Eyes”? Our “Come Talk To Me”? You know, that song to blast as we passionately raise the boombox high over our heads outside our beloved’s window. It’s been a while since we had one of those songs – something expansive and elegant; big-pop that feels personal and tender. Let us humbly offer the music of Sydney’s Gordi – 22-year-old Sophie Payten. Her debut EP, Clever Disguise, gets at it both ways – massive and personal music that doesn’t concede an inch of artistic vision. First single, “Can We Work It Out” has the big, worldly drums of those aforementioned Peter Gabriel classics and a towering, multi-layered vocal chorus that will instantaneously sear itself into your memory. The soft gallop and airy melody of opener “Nothing’s As It Seems” feels like bittersweet sunset of a four-day weekend on the water. Clever Disguise was created with producers Alex Somers (Sigur Ros) and Francois Tetaz (Gotye). And if it’s merely an aperitif for what Gordi has coming up, we’re in for a magnificent show.
