GOVS

For the majority of our readers, you'll be readying yourselves for the warmer months of the year. But, for those in the southern hemisphere, summer is quickly turning into a distant memory. This is the case for Gold Coast musician GOVS (Josiah Birrell), who has just released a new single paying homage to the season. "Australian Summer" is definitely a new direction for GOVS, who has previously wooed us with his dream folk stylings. This latest release however, features him using a lot more electronics than we're used to -- but the results are just as gorgeous. Birrell creates an incredibly lush soundscape that suits his gentle vocals arrangements to a tee. It really does sound exactly like our summers: humid, lazy and sunny. Unlike most of you, I really don't enjoy summer, but this one is making me rethink my opinion.
