*** Zoo Music is pleased to release the debut 7" from Grenaa (Denmark) band GÄY. In their own words: “There's not really an interesting event that started the band. We were bored, and decided to play my songs with full setup, and just went on with it. The songs on the LP ain't full set-up, it's just me in my room eating mcdonalds and writing songs. To be honest, I don't remember what I was listening to at the moment I recorded the songs. Bee Gees or something I guess. Probably a lot of other things too. Leonard Cohen, Jonathan Richmann, Walker Brothers... i could go on, but prefer not to.” “For paradox personified i did draw inspiration from literature, such as crime and punishment, history, meaninglessness, etc. The bassist, JAKOB, called me and asked if we should make a music video to one of of my songs and I told him YES, he said that he would be at my house in 30 minutes. Then i wrote the song in 20 minutes or something, and started recorded it trough the microphone on my macbook. In the first take of recording, Jjakob walked into my room with a great smile on his face, we used that first recording, and then we walked out into the beautifully boring landscapes of our hometown Grenaa, and filmed the video. Note: we are a band from Grenaa, not copenhagen, a lot of people get that wrong. The horrible sadness of the town inspired a lot of songs, along with it's beautiful woods and beach. “Blue Blue Heart” was just a love song to my girlfriend written and recorded very fast, with not to much hope for it to ever reach anyone. The songs are now played with full line-up, and I usually just bring a song to where we practice, and we play and work a little bit on it, everyone together so it can function.”
