GAZE release new EP ‘Paper Moon’: A Journey Through Heartbreak, Love, and Self-Reclamation

GAZE, has released their much-anticipated new EP, Paper Moon. The EP delves deep into the complexities of relationships, self-discovery, and the emotional turbulence that comes with love, loss, and growth.

GAZE’s debut EP Paper Moon is a warm and raw representation of the current iteration of their sound that balances the tenderness and turmoil that surrounds the pursuit of finding meaning in relationships - be that with friends, family or lovers. This is clearly evident in the EP’s title track that lead vocalist Lauren Tomas describes as being about “never really feeling like a full person till someone loves you, and about having such short and insignificant relationships with people that it’s impossible to write one song for them, so I lumped them all into one song.”

The rest of the songs carry a similarly emotionally expansive weight: the lush, saxophone-soaked single July explores the feelings of constantly missing someone and the cruelty of having someone enter your life at an inopportune time. Daylight is a dramatic ballad that erupts into a dark and intense post-rock composition as it follows the feelings of loving someone so easily in the cloak of night before having that love lost and ripped away in the following morning

GAZE is comprised of:

Lauren Thomas – Vocals  

Regie Pienaar – Guitar  

Desmond Kannemeyer– Guitar  

Dan Charles – Bass  

Aerin McCallum– Keys
