Maxine Gillon Unveils 'Girl Songs' — Album Launch at The Tramway
Episode 193 features a conversation with Maxine Gillon about her debut album, Girl Songs, its recording process, and the upcoming free launch at the Tramway with her band the Blue Jeans.
The episode explores the album's lush arrangements and wall-of-sound influences, stripped-back acoustic takes recorded at Avery Studios, songwriting themes of desire and vulnerability, and Maxine's artistic influences and live approach.
Maxine Gillon proves she’s a talented songwriting force to be reckoned with on her debut album ‘Girl Songs’ Melbourne solo artist Maxine Gillon announces her debut album ‘Girl Songs’. The album is written, arranged, performed, recorded and produced by herself, is mixed by Wade Keighran (Dust), John Lee (Laura Jean) and Paul Annison (Flyying Colours) and is mastered by William Bowden (Gotye).
The album itself takes Australian indie-rock to expansive and majestic new territory with production and sonics inspired by 60’s Wall-of-sound, 80’s ethereal glitz and modern dream-pop. The lyrics throughout are unconventionally exceptional, and reflect her imaginative, queer, poetic and witty vocabulary.
Maxine Gillon is a Melbourne-based singer-songwriter whose cerebral and intelligent approach to music sets her apart in the indie rock scene. Her compositions are rich in lyrical depth and musical complexity, drawing listeners into a world of introspective exploration. – Deb Pelser, Backseat Mafia (on ‘Lipstick’)
