A.O. Gerber

Cinematic & ethereal in equal measure, Gerber’s approach to her songwriting creates an organic pool of sounds for her voice to weave through & leap out of with dazzling effect.

We’ve been hooked since we first laid ears to the promo; Gerber takes a maximalist approach with layers of acoustic & electronic instruments & textures to create an introspective world for her lyrics to colour. It’s a fascinating way to create, & unafraid to use a sonic palette as ambitious as her lyrics.

There are more albums that tackle grief than there are hours in a lifetime, but very few that we’ve heard feel as open, as honest & as perfectly weighted between lyric & sound as ‘Meet Me At The Gloaming’. This is a deeply special record that’s worthy of the time it takes to sit down & explore, line for line.
