It was a magical month of May for Fraser A. Gorman, who spent his time gigging around the UK as he became hot property. Growing up in Torquay, a place widely known for its surf scene, Fraser instead found his home in music. With his old-world style of storytelling, the young songman falls into the Dylan/Woody Guthrie camp, strumming his way across wry poetry, bent Tropicália, country-soul and rock. Since 2012 he has released an EP and a dose of singles, but recently he dropped the biggie: his debut full-length release, Slow Gum. NME gave it a ripper review, ending their write-up with the pretty darn good score of 8/10. The Barwon, Geelong – July 24.
