GIMMY 'Labour Of Love' 12"

The latest EP/ 12" from Australian indie rocker, GIMMY via Third Eye Stimuli Records.

Where her 2024 debut album Things Look Different Now was a sprawling two-to-three year journey of change and introspection, Labour of Love arrives with a different kind of energy: intuitive, immediate and deeply in tune with the frontwoman, Gemma Owens’ emotional landscape.

Written over six months, Labour of Love is a raw and emotionally charged collection recorded in an intensive 4–5 day burst with producer Sam Joseph (King Gizzard, Babe Rainbow). Armed with strong pre-production and sharpened ideas, the EP captures the immediacy and cohesiveness of the band locking in together.

The seven tracks explore social anxiety, loss, falling in love and the beautifully chaotic honesty of daily life — each song arriving “on its own terms” through moments of home writing, travel inspiration and full-band collaboration. Blending gritty indie rock, punk edges and tender poetic folk expression with a uniquely Australian charm, the EP draws connection to bands such as Soft Play, Nick Cave, Fontaines D.C., The Preatures and The Smiths, while remaining distinctly GIMMY.
