Gigi – The Old Graveyard (Karl Blau)
words: Jamie Milton
It’s called an “experiment”. Well, it sure doesn’t sound like one. Gigi is the project of Nick Krgovich, whose aim is to forge an album that makes old-skool pop – quick-fire recording, reverb plates, the authentic stuff. The result is something of a potential trend-setter: on evidence of the Karl Blau featuring ‘The Old Graveyard‘, pop should soon be returning to these winning ways.
“It may be hard to believe, but I’m as happy as can be, in love with no-one and no-one in love with me” – simple lyrics, a basic, whistle-blowing tune and a one-step recording technique. The results are mighty impressive in this progressive, memorable song.
‘Maintenant‘, the project, also features Owen Pallett and Mirah.
