Title track ‘Beware’ rises, falls with a dissonant build up, that eventually opens up into a rollicking outro, layered with guitar lines.\nThere are undeniable shades of 90s British guitar bands like Radiohead.<\/p>\n
Torquay raised, East Geelong resident Bec Goring released her new album Beware this month.<\/p>\n
The eight-track release is a collection of hard hitting songs that move between personal observations and commentary on important social issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see how it is, I see imbalance\u201d Goring ponders on album opener Pay Gap. \u201cHow is she supposed to pay her bills, when the gap is stretched as far as this\u201d.<\/p>\n
It is a powerful song, full of searching and staggering blues guitar, backed by another guitar, palm muted and consistent.<\/p>\n
Title track ‘Beware’ rises, falls with a dissonant build up, that eventually opens up into a rollicking outro, layered with guitar lines.
\nThere are undeniable shades of 90s British guitar bands like Radiohead.<\/p>\n
\u201cA few people have mentioned Radiohead,\u201d Goring said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was still caught up in the stories and music of Jeff Buckley and Fiona Apple when my fellow jazz nerds at uni were blasting Radiohead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goring is a graduate from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and the Music Director for the junior program of the Sweethearts \u2013 a professional working soul band for school-aged girls, and is the vice captain of the Geelong AFLW team, playing each game in the 2019 season.<\/p>\n
“We recorded the album in February in Castlemaine at The Perch Studio, built by the incredible sound engineer Jono Steer. I had admired Jono’s work for years having worked with many so many of my favourite artists (Angie McMahon\/Ainslie Willis). Fellow RecLink Community Cup back flanker Felix Riebel (The Cat Empire) connected us and before I knew it we had had an album tracked,” Goring said.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the outlier on the album, Wave, a slow building instrumental, is a wonderful show of Goring\u2019s musicianship.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like the sound to my childhood was from Alby Fazon\u2019s film \u201cMorning of the Earth’\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to compose something that didn\u2019t need words to describe the feeling of a nice wave. I\u2019m really keen to continue the instrumental writing tangent.\u201d<\/p>\n
