Gravity Won't Get You High by The Grates
Gravity Won't Get You High is an album by The Grates, released in 2006. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Science is Golden”, on 1 list with a best position of #17.
Gravity Won't Get You High was the Grates' first full album, out on Dew Process in 2006, and the Brisbane trio made it with Brian Deck producing. Patience Hodgson sings, John Patterson plays guitar and adds backing vocals, Alana Skyring drums, and for a band this small they kick up a glorious racket, all yelps, stomps and hooks tossed around like confetti. Some of the songs were already familiar from their EP The Ouch. The Touch., now remade in the studio, and "Sukkafish" got the biggest makeover, with banjo and fiddle joining the party.
It went into the ARIA top 10, and the industry took notice: two ARIA nominations, for Breakthrough Artist – Album and for Best Cover Art, plus a nod for the J Award for Australian Album of the Year and another for the 2006 Australian Music Prize.
