Gamilla's recent record "Pink Judgement" is unapologetic self-expression and raw energy, a thunderous debut for the indie and shoegaze rock community. The penultimate cut on her debut album, "Catholic School Girl," captures the conflict between the exuberance of youth and the piercing gaze of judgmental outsiders.
The record masterfully establishes a quickened sense of focus that perfectly complements the emotional rivet that is always at work when one feels observed. A sound that smashes grunge grit against shoegaze's dreamy textures, the track is super complex, an aggression marred by introspective edges, and hard to resist falling into Gamilla's aforementioned grab. The lyrics address the issue of young girls being judged by older women, a universal concept that resonates with feelings of rebellion and judgment.
Gamilla's performance is urgent and cleansing, carrying the frustration and resolve that charges through the track with propulsive energy. This is a manifesto, a beat of youthful exuberance that insists on being denied neither by perception nor tradition. Indie rock, shoegaze, and grunge enthusiasts would do well to check out Gamilla's "Pink Judgement," an electrifying, passionate journey that showcases her debut album as a serious contender.
