Gaz Newton Biography
Gaz Newton is the solo project of a 90s-style indie rock and melody addict. The project took shape in 2012 when Gaz decided to take his own influences outside his previous bands.
The enthusiastic The end of the day and The white EP, 2 EPs of 4 tracks each, were first produced with bandmates Jérémy Rassat and David Grumel (Coming Soon, The Pirouettes). From then on, reviews associated Gaz with ‘Patrick Coutin at Pavement’, ‘Weezer in the Alps’ and ‘Black Francis with a cool punk aesthetic’. At the same time, the project was spotted and supported by Atelier SMAC: residencies and concerts, including an appearance at the Musiques en Stock festival in July 2013, opening for the Black Angels and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
The follow-up came in 2019 - when Gaz left his native Haute-Savoie for Lyon - in the form of the darker, more noisy Wu Wei album, which still combines indie, grunge and power pop influences. An album that ‘brings the best of college rock and indie rock to our times’, according to Radio Campus.
In 2020, it was during the Covid lock-up that Gaz decided to contact artist-producer Pamela Hute, whose artistic work is carried by the same musical DNA. It was she who took on the production of the second album, and from this artistic love affair Loveheroin was born, 10 rock tracks in the pure style of incisive, melodic indie rock that has been the project's hallmark since the beginning. At the same time, Gaz Newton joins the My Dear Recordings label. The album received rave reviews from a number of specialist blogs, including Mowno, Magic RPM and Muzzart, the latter describing it as a “definitive success”.
5 years after the ‘Pixisian’ Loveheroin, the artist returns with a new album entitled Quiet Life. Like the previous one, it was recorded 4-handed by and with Pamela Hute in her Périgord studio.
Quiet Life is about love and current social issues, such as mental health (Quiet life), the loss of meaning (Setting sun), and the vain quest for perfection as a means to happiness (64). It was during a difficult period in his life that the author wrote these 12 tracks, as a testimony to the neuroses of our world. Rather serious themes, but punchy melodies, luscious choruses and noisy guitars - the first single Electric Heart being a joyful foreshadowing. Album to be released June 27, 2025, with concerts to follow.
