about

*SENSE OF IMPENDING DAWN*, my debut album, is a set of ten songs with juicy grooves, drones, textures and spacey journeys. This is the pre-mastering version.

I guess you could call this an electronic rock album...
I like to call it evil pop.
A blend of psychedelia, electronic, synth swells, indie pop, and a little touch of twang.

I allowed space for many of the songs to stretch into strange, sometimes discordant territory that creates an atmosphere the listener can become enveloped in. Each song is a journey all its own.

There's a lot of me in here. Partly because I'm the only person involved in creating the music, but also because I'm an awfully complex person, as it turns out. The songs here take you places. There are a lot of seemingly contrary, irresolvable vibes in and amongst them. The way I see the world- reality is complex, glorious, frightening, fucked up, and perfect as it is. And I think that comes through these ten songs.

All the songs were written, composed, recorded by yours truly, using a midi controller and various percussive instruments. Half in San Francisco, half off-grid in an Airstream trailer in Joshua Tree. Some of it was done in 2020, some in 2021, and some of the songs were things I'd written in years past but never came to fruition with other music partners.
Some are songs I wrote just days ago.
All artwork featured is also created by me.

I'd like to thank the supremely kind friends who have encouraged me along the way... for believing in me, taking me under their wings, and being a source of joy.
And I'd like to thank the the fuckers who tried to keep me small... for reminding me to own my personal power.
I'd like to thank the radiant night for beckoning me into horrifyingly beautiful situations that gave me so much writing material,
And I thank my brilliant husband for supporting me along the wild ride that is my life.

​oh, and Jesus. thanks, Jesus. You rule.
-G

GOLDEN EVIL Joshua Tree, California

GOLDEN EVIL- sweeping moods and juicy grooves from a high-desert sun-gazing witch.

These are the musings of an artist, psychic explorer, reality junkie.

All my songs are written, composed, recorded and delivered to you by me, Gillian, off grid in an airstream.

I spent 2017-19 backin up my friend's bands as a vocalist, tambourine smasher, maraca shaker, & token skirt. Now I'm making my own magic ... more
