Bio

GOVS Debut EP OUT NOW // http://tinyurl.com/awk2v6m GOVS is the sole initiative of 21 year old, multi-instrumentalist Josiah Birrell. "The Gold Coast is renowned as a bit of a party district, kind of like Australia’s version of Las Vegas or Miami. It’s where teenagers go once they finish high school, and it’s not somewhere you’d anticipate would generate gorgeous lo-fi dream-pop. GOVS (young musician Josiah Birrell) is changing this perception, with his first single “I’ve Never Seen a Ghost” as proof." - Indieshuffle.com

A laid back, dreamy pop tune with just enough minor chords to give it some melancholy. I love that this kind of 90s style jangly indie is making a come back and great to discover talented local acts like this leading the charge.
