From the defiant scream that kicks off opening cut “\u003cem\u003eGorgeous\u003c\/em\u003e,” the album rips in what singer and principal songwriter \u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Wainwright\u003c\/strong\u003e describes as “go for it” mode: holding back nothing, wasting no time. Although the bulk of the songs were written in 2022, recording sessions weren’t booked until March of 2024, which allowed ample time to refine and distill the music’s hooks, heaviness, and haze. The result is a perfect storm of distortion and dream pop, cracked love songs cloaked in swooning walls of noise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded at \u003cstrong\u003eParadise Recorders\u003c\/strong\u003e in Anaheim, California with \u003cstrong\u003eColin Knight\u003c\/strong\u003e (of post-punk unit Object of Affection), Wainwright tracked the strings while \u003cstrong\u003eCameron Fonacier\u003c\/strong\u003e handled drums. The process was efficient and effective, sharpened by years of performance. Anthemic headbangers like “\u003cem\u003ePortland\u003c\/em\u003e,” “\u003cem\u003eAll My Life, My Heart Has Yearned For A Thing I Cannot Name\u003c\/em\u003e,” and “\u003cem\u003eMalibu Beach House\u003c\/em\u003e” sound as dynamic as they do dialled-in, soaked into the bones of the players. The lyrics camelast, written by Wainwright a week before recording. Moods of surreality (“I can hear the blood in my fingers \/ nothing tunes out \/ the world’s too loud”), infatuation (“I will follow \/ everywhere you go \/ any way to feel \/ how you glow”), and melancholy (“God kept me around \/ for no good reason”) flicker and fade within a fog of memory and reverb. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs on 2022’s \u003cem\u003eGod Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here\u003c\/em\u003e, Cold Gawd's contemporary vision of shoegaze manifests intriguingly in outlier moments, like the hushed, whirlpool reverie of “\u003cem\u003eTappan\u003c\/em\u003e,” or the vaporous, slow-grind downtempo of ““\u003cem\u003eNudism\u003c\/em\u003e”” (complete with regal piano outro). Theirs is a muse as vivid as it is varied, from \u003cem\u003eLoveless\u003c\/em\u003e, to Drake, post-hardcore and Beach House. Drown evocatively captures the expanding canon of Cold Gawd, dense with riffs and raptures, escape and revelation, channelled from stacked amps and hidden powers: “Give praise \/ to whatever \/ I got time for \/ hallelujah.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dais","offers":[{"title":"LP - Clear Purple Coloured Vinyl","offer_id":48557423460697,"sku":"SDZ-07199","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Cold_Gawd_-_I_ll_Drown_From_This_Earth_-_LP_Clear_Purple_Vinyl_-_2024.jpg?v=1718796533","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/cold-gawd-ill-drown-from-this-earth","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
