HE.SHE.THEY are killing it right now with their releases, with the most recent one seeing icons GusGus and John Grant team up for the Bolero EP. Putting their own unique spin on 80s Electronica, the Icelandic group GusGus have hooked up with Reykjavik-based John Grant for a sun-soaked production guided by vibrant synths, sweeping leads and Grant’s alluring vocals on track ‘Hold Me In Your Arms Again.’ The EP also sees remixes from Tiefschwarz and is out now.
“My first love of music was Italo Disco and HiNRG back in 1983. Last year during Covid, the ghost of the 80s visited me and put this Fancy track called ‘Bolero’ as a curse on me. There was this weekend that I just had the track on repeat, and I felt I had to do a cover. For me, the message of this track was the light at the end of those boring times of no parties..” Biggi Veira (Gus Gus).
