April 30th saw the return of Nashville-based singer-songwriter Gatton with his EP release ‘juvenescent’. The EP includes 4 delicate tracks, ranging from haunting ballads to lighthearted and playful acoustic numbers and even includes a cover of Kacey Musgraves’ ‘rainbow’.
Gatton speaks on what the juvenescent EP means to him, “It’s a journey I have taken to make peace with my inner child. A journey that is necessary for all, but many avoid. For me, this project is a musical stroll in the park. No one with me. No distractions. Just introspection.”
“‘juvenescent’ highlights what relationships look like with unclaimed baggage. Relationships seem to magnify what you’ve yet to heal. The healing can be beautiful. The healing can be agonizing. But if you can learn to “grow from every wave,” it can be breathtaking. After all, forgiveness is accepting that the past will never be any different.“We were a reckless combination of lust and childhood wounds disguised as love…”
Gatton’s fascination with human existence has shone through in his other projects, such as previous single “Heroes, Hookers, Pastors & Pilots” and also his work as a creative director.
Gatton’s ‘juvenescent’ is the perfect listen to launch you into summertime with a sense of introspection and appreciation. Gatton’s ability to share his journey with the listener through his music makes us think this is only the beginning for Gatton!
