Gaspar Narby Goes Magnetic

14 January 2022 sees the release of London-based singer/songwriter Gaspar Narby’s latest EP, entitled “Magnet Letters” via Everybody’s Records, likewise domiciled in London. Narby has created quite a stir in the UK’s alt-pop world in recent months. “Organic electronic with soft, dreamlike beats”, wrote Mixmag. “At the point in which commercial pop music deviates into the warped and wonderful sphere of leftfield pop.” concluded Earmilk. “Magnet Letters” is bound to heighten the excitement.

Gaspar Narby grew up in the canton Jura with parents who listened to CocoRosie, Boards of Canada and Anohni in the car instead of Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. Previously working mostly on laptop, this time round Narby has tried a different approach. “I approached the EP as a singer-songwriter”, he says, “writing most of it on guitar without touching the laptop, which I’d never done before. Only then did I put on my producer’s hat and went on to work on the material as if it belonged to a singer-songwriter I’d never heard of.” The sweet and light results clearly reflect the memories of Mum and Dad’s car stereo.
