Having already conducted two extremely successful tours in support of their number one album ‘Breed Obsession’, Gyroscope will take to the road throughout August and September to deliver a 36 date national tour. The Australia tour celebrates the release of the bands third single, fittingly titled ‘Australia’ and is the largest tour ever undertaken by the band. Kicking off at Splendour in the Grass they’ll do a lap of the map, taking in major cities, regional towns, and suburbia along the way.
With a fresh approach, this talented four piece who’ve been together since school, have somewhat re-invented themselves introducing a more eclectic sound. It’s been a healthy start with ‘Snakeskin’, the first single from ‘Breed Obsession’, debuting at number 30 on the ARIA national album chart and taking out the number 16 spot on Triple j’s hottest 100. The track is also currently featured in all Network Ten promotions for the AFL season.
Released on Saturday July 12, Gyroscope’s new single ‘Australia’ delves deeper into the band’s pop attributes delivering a poignant tuneful track which draws you in with its acoustic opening and takes you on a melodic ride as its marching-band beat and lush strings build to its magic crescendo. ‘Australia’ is testimony to a young band willing to challenge themselves and with this track they’ve superbly crafted an anthemic major crossover hit which has already been embraced widely by radio around the country.
Gyroscope front man Daniel Sanders explains the essence of the track,
“I remember musically penning the song just after I’d been up to Derby in the Kimberly region of WA. I’d been up there with my wife Jess visiting her sister who’s a remote nurse. I’ve always had a connection with the indigenous community and having never been up into this region before, the beauty of the land revealed itself to me and I realised the powerful interaction between the land and the community. I guess that was the trigger that made me actually put something down, seeing and spending time with that part of our country inspired me. Lyrical inspiration then came from the heart and felt relatively easy and just felt right to me. I’m writing about coming to Australia from the mother country, I came over with my English mum and Australian dad when I was two. My entire upbringing has been here and now I’m old enough to realise, I cherish that. I wanted to celebrate Australia as a country on its merits. I am just a visitor who washed up on the shore and can only tell a story from what I see and have learnt.”
Packed with passion, commitment, and sincere dedication to their art, Gyroscope are currently the hottest export from the West. They’re completely focused and ready to deliver powered pop-rock sets for fans as they make their way around the nation.
