about

Art As Catharsis are proud to re-release Gauche’s debut EP ‘Sigh’, an ambitious piece of experimental pop drawing from Bjork, Portishead and Aphex Twin.

Gauche were a Sydney-based experimental band that existed between 2001 and 2007. Art As Catharsis are re-releasing their back catalog as part of an effort to conserve important recordings in Australia’s experimental music history.

On their 2003 demo, 'Sigh', we find Gauche colliding disparate musical elements together to create unique and beautiful forms - floating melodies laid over polyrhythmic beats; furious, live drum-and-bass in odd time signatures; looped and reversed tango and gypsy-style guitar lines weaving around soaring classical vocals.

While Gauche's aesthetic developed considerably over their short career, there is something captivating with the intensity and audacity of 'Sigh'.
