Aussie songwriter Gordi has today announced details for a brand new album set for release this year.
Our Two Skins, the Sydney-via-Canowindra artist's second record, will drop on 19 June via Liberation Records.
"A big theme of the record is: there's nothing to hide behind," Gordi said.
"We didn't have all the bells and whistles. You’re just standing there, with your hands in your pockets going: this is me. This is it. This is all I have."
Our Two Skins is the follow-up to Gordi's 2017 debut, Reservoir.
Fans got a taste of the album late last month with the release of Sandwiches and Gordi has today released the second cut, Aeroplane Bathroom; check out the official music video below.
“I wrote Aeroplane Bathroom sitting in a window seat on a long haul flight," Gordi said.
"The people next to me were asleep and I was alone with my thoughts. I had that sensation of being trapped so I climbed over the other passengers and tried to escape to the bathroom.”
“The song is about feeling isolated. It comes at a very strange time now given we’re all locking ourselves in our homes, ‘socially isolating’ from our normal functional lives. There is no more dehumanising experience than to be cut off from everything you know. It can plunge you into total despair.”
Gordi is scheduled to support Of Monsters & Men's US tour from late April and is expected to announce her own Australian and international headline shows in support of Our Two Skins "as soon as is appropriate, in light of current COVID-19 advice".
