Gabriel Bruce

The A-Z of New Music finds us at G, and the unique sounding voice of…..Gabriel Bruce.

Bruce has the same low, husky growl that have made Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave household names. If you take the time to check him out you’ll realise he is slightly ‘weird’. As well as singing and composing he is a taxidermist and has an interest in the macabre. His first single, the fantastic ‘Sleep Paralysis’ was released as on 7″ vinyl complete with 50-page illustrated book exploring the phenomenon of sleep paralysis. I’d imagine if there is a debut album on the horizon it will be pretty dark and heavy. If you’re looking for a feel good summer tune, Gabriel Bruce is probably not the place to look for it. Personally, I’m quite partial to a bit of Leonard Cohen so I’ll be eagerly awaiting some more tunes.

Gabriel Bruce has done a great cover of Sam Cooke’s ‘Cupid’, that was released in conjunction with Valentine’s Day, listen to it on his tumblr site.

Overall, Gabriel Bruce gets a B+……
