Herzsprung is GB’s most expansive work yet. Written while living in London, the Copenhagen-based songwriter and producer spent weeks cutting up copies of Metro, one of the city’s f ree newspapers, to form the lyrical foundation of the songs. In makeshift studios, he began bringing these ideas to life.Where GB’s debut record was shrouded in a downtempo haze, Herzsprung pushes outward into something more melodic, full-throated and assured. The album draws together a wide spectrum of influences, from 1970s groove-driven fusion jazz to Japanese noise-rock psychedelia, anthemic grunge and outsider pop.After finding himself improbably cast in a viral Jaguar ad in 2024, GB used the money to book out a studio villa in the Swedish wilderness, joined by a band of trusted musicians. Tracked largely live to 24-track tape, the result feels immediate and playful, capturing the chemistry of an uncompromising band brimming with ideas and welcoming spontaneity. Show more
