GIMMY’s forthcoming album, Things Look Different Now is the epitome of what a debut record is all about; a collection of songs that showcase just how far GIMMY has come and how much things have changed — both in her life and musically — since Gemma Owens’ first launched her solo endeavour back in 2021. Through the album’s 12 tracks, Owens’ explores her own ideas and experiences of “change”, through themes dealing with relationships, ageing, life phases, success, grief and memories.

Recorded with Sam Joseph (King Gizzard, Babe Rainbow, Nice Biscuit) between his cabin studio in Byron hinterland and Gemma’s 1920’s style house in Mullumbimby, throughout 2022/23, the debut album is soaked in 80s and 90s nostalgia, with the band bringing together an eclectic collection of songs that weaves garage and surf rock, post-punk, folk and indie rock together, through GIMMY’s stunning voice, Australian charm and unique songwriting. Even with its musical diversity, the band’s debut is above all; an emotional, thought induced record, full of feelings that is presented with honesty and humour that is impossible not to enjoy.
