Gypsy & The Cat were two former DJs from Melbourne, Xavier Bacash and Lionel Towers, who got together in 2008 and swapped the decks for big, glossy indie pop. Their 2010 album Gilgamesh is a dreamy, sun-bleached affair, the kind of record where the synths shimmer, the choruses swell and everything seems to be happening at golden hour. "Time to Wander", "The Piper's Song" and "Jona Vark" all made it onto rock radio that year, three flavors of the same wide-eyed rush.
You can hear the DJ past in how the songs are built, stacked up in layers and pitched for release rather than restraint. The pair eventually went quiet for seven years, and when they came back in 2023 they did it under a new name, GATC, with the old one still attached as a footnote.
