How old is husky gawenda

It was an inspiring place. The album and the characters of the album are semi-based on the Westbury Hotel and the people who lived there and frequented the joint. I guess the album explores the life that comes after the death of things. We recorded the whole album to a track two-inch tape machine. And also tape just sounds so good. The Band, Husky. And what you get on tape really is what the four of you produce in that room.

After working for months on the basic tracks, Husky handed over their raw materials to producer Noah Georgeson famed for his work with artists like the Strokes and Joanna Newsom to handle the final mixing process. The end result was their hauntingly folky debut album, Forever So , released in late on Liberation Music. In the group also won the Pushover talent competition hosted by Australian radio institution Triple J.

This opened many doors for Husky, and the band quickly gained new fans as well as landing support slots for established artists such as Gotye , Devendra Banhart , and Noah and the Whale. Husky began negotiating a deal with U. Husky was the first Australian band to be signed to Sub Pop. The band set out on an Australian tour in support, though several dates had to be postponed when Gawenda was diagnosed with glandular fever.

When it came to recording the songs, all he had was a vintage Tascam tape machine. In what was uncanny timing, just before the lockdowns began various friends and local musicians lent him various instruments, some of which he had not played before.

Gabriella Cohen gave him her beautiful old piano. Jake Rush a vintage Hoffner Bass guitar. Jules Pascoe a drum kit. And Producer Matt Redlich a beautiful old microphone. So I learnt how to use the tape machine and learnt how to play drums and bass a bit. I recorded as I wrote, one instrument at a time. The extreme isolation and uncertainty of the times helped me forget about my usual concerns and inhibitions.

I was able to dive very deep into myself. What was behind the decision to go solo? Will Husky the band still continue? The band has no intention of stopping anytime soon. Like everyone else, we spent a year unable to play live shows and barely even able to see each other. We also released an album during that time and it was the first album recorded with our current line up.

I was stuck in lockdown last year for many months. So I spent my days and nights writing and recording. I found the process really different.
