CHOON OF THE DAY: "ENDLESSLY" - GL + Top 10 Greatest GL Tracks


So apparently I have blogged about this Australian duo 38 times to date... Here's another GL-themed post on the rather wondrous occasion of the arrival of their sublime, lushly produced latest single "Endlessly" which is heralding the release of their sophomore LP "You Read My Mind" dropping on 25th September. The Melbourne based Ella Thompson and Graeme Pogson continue to champion the 1980's sonic revival with a concoction of synth-pop, post-disco, cosmic-funk, R&B and soul spiced up with their very own signature twist. I have recently selected "Touch" - GL's debut album, as one of the 5 greatest records of the decade in my Top 100 Greatest Albums of the 2010's so the expectations for "You Read My Mind" are rather high. You can pre-order your vinyl/digital copy now via Bandcamp. To celebrate the release of "Endlessly" I have also compiled a list of 10 previous GL songs I cherish the most. Enjoy!
