#GURR

Suddenly remembered I had this gem saved in my phone

Gurr is a band from Berlin consisting of Andreya Casablanca and Laura Lee. They met while going to school for their undergrad, and began making music together. They released their first EP after spending a year abroad in the States and immediately started touring with money they'd saved up. In My Head is titled such because the topics of these songs are all thoughts that went through Laura and Andreya's heads. I heard In My Head for the first time in 2020. The first song that I knew from this album was Moby Dick, and because I'm a fiend for clean electric guitar with a basic beat under small-plate-reverbed vocals, I had to give the entire album a listen, and boy, was it worth it. Each song from this 30 minute album is so memorable and I can confidently it's a skipless album.

Moby Dick begins with catchy rhythm guitar, a solid beat, and a simple bass line. It's not much, which works in its favor because this song is just flow-y and distant, so it doesn't need a lot. This song feels like it would play in a movie at a moment where the main character decides they need to get their life back on track after going through an extremely low point and they start working their ass off to achieve that goal. When the lead guitar comes in with a short and sweet solo towards the end, it feels like the song just pushed on the accelerator and is going 20 miles above the speed limit while still managing to not be "too much".

Diamonds resembles a rock song more than most other songs on the album. It also begins with catchy yet simple guitar. The dynamics of the vocals are perfect. They expand exactly where they should (on the third and fourth "never, never, never cry up") and are soft where they should be (on the third "my baby's mad I never, never, never, cry up"). The transition from the verses to the chorus and vice versa is small but effective. The fuzzy guitar plays two steps leading into the chords while the drums play the beat on the two steps. The album title is sang in this song; "In my head, I never cry up". Gurr stated in an interview with New Noise Magazine that they didn't want to have a title track because the title should be applicable to all the songs on the album, so they mention the phrase "in my head" throughout the album. Towards the end of Diamonds, "Don't trust the snake" is whispered. I wonder if the snake is supposed to be your mind.

#1985 is also a bop. This is about the life of an old man who fantasizes about living the stereotypical "rockstar" life, according to Gurr. You understand from the song that the guy's name is Carlos. I absolutely adore the lyric "Underage drinking, fucking around, I had to turn thirty before I could be so cool". I like the effect that the really subtle bass line has on the chorus. It makes the chorus pop out just slightly more.

Like I mentioned earlier, all of the songs on this album are memorable. They all combine to form a cohesive album that feels like it was made on a life-changing trip where the artists found a part of themselves and put it into music. This is the soundtrack to a spontaneous road trip you decide to take with your friends in the summer and you drive to a place hundreds of miles away from home and you happen to have a convertible and you keep the hood down. This is In My Head.

About jaggery...

Okay so, random post: I love panela, also known as gur, jaggery and a million other names across both latin america and asia. Why is that? Well, there are multiple reasons, first of which is that it's fucking awesome.

Like, you're telling me that there's this pill paste thing that's made of fucking sugarcane juice, is sweet asf while not being as harmful to your health? Count me in! Plus, it's literally so good, you can make coffee with it, or the most banger hot chocolate you've ever had, or even fucking lemonade which tastes amazing!

There's also the process, it's literally just soakig, boiling, molding and then drying sugarcane! And nothing is lost in the process! The paste thingy is the jaggery itself, the remaining juices, also called melaza, is used as a sweetener that even people with diabetes can use cuz it's 100% natural and also animal supplement (yeah, you heard me right! Animal supplement!), and the sugarcane fiber goes into the furnace as fuel! Nothing is wasted!.

On top of that, it's a point of connection across continents, it's common in both latin america and some parts of asia! It's so cool that we had the same idea even being an ocean apart, and if it's something that the indias brought here or something, then that's just to show that it's become such a staple in the culture over here that it's ingrained in the very soul of the subcontinent! (Like, literally the two biggest producers and consumers of jaggery in the world are India and Colombia, an asian and a latin american country) It feels like we're connected, even across an ocean and half a continent, even across the centuries, millenia even, of history, we still have the same tastes.

Also, spice buddies! We grow spices and get colonized for it! We're practically cousins!

Sending good vibes to all my desi and latino mates wherever you are, we're all together in this to some degree

Gillian Lynne had a very brief amount of time with us. In the time we had with her, she attempted to cram 35 years of feline essence into less than 15 minutes of rehearsal. She did it. With some words but, mainly, with one gesture. “Now—I don’t want to disparage American performers, but Americans on the stage are usually saying, ‘LOOK AT ME!!!,’” she said, and her body did an odd little ghost of a George-M.-Cohan-meets-Al-Jolson-meets-Liza-Minnelli-meets-Liberace gesture. “But cats…” Her eyes lit up and narrowed at the same time, “…cats say—” And, in a flash, she shot up, one foot off the ground, and spun every line of her 89-year-old body up-up-up in a plume of arms and hands and eyes and—“‘Look at me!’” It was a one-second move. It said everything you’d ever need to know about Cats.

Hun-gurr and thi-rrrst are Siamese twins, Hun-gurr is on the left and Thi-rrst is on the right

Hun-gurr:

Hun-gurr is the dominant twin and controls the body, Hun-gurr's head is always raised above thi-rrst's

Hun-gurr's well hunger is a near unstoppable force within his mind, something he simply must act on, testament to this are the grievous wounds witch decorate Thi-rrst's face and neck from his many attempts at eating him.

His hunger is not without reason, his signature power converts all mass he consumes into highy destructive energi beems. On the rare ocation he is not overwhelmed by his hunger, he is a suprisingly inteligent leader, with a Possessive streak towards his team.

Thi-rrrst:

the mild manored of the two, Thi-rrrst spends his day trying to avoid the attention of his all Devouring brother. Tho Thi-rrrst is not without his own gluttony even if he never let's get to the point Hun-gurr has .
