About Gravy
Like their debut album, GRAVY’s follow up “Glory To Our Brilliant Name” draws on various eras of rock music. GRAVY picks the best elements of the 1960’s psychedelic sound and cleverly mix them with more cynical hybrids of contemporary alternative rock and hip hop beats.The lyrics on the new album are honest and sincere and packed with irony creating a deeply personal, poetic universe. Sarcastic comments about the music industry, types of bands and individuals can be found on the album as well as references to the psychedelic hippie scene.
Citing musical influences such as garage, sing/songwriting, psychobilly, hip hop, extreme hardcore/heavy, soft pop and avant-garde and alternative rock, the six band members are as different musically as their geographic backgrounds.
Growing up in different parts of Denmark, adhering to different musical styles, they all met up in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, their creative base, fuelled by the only thing that binds them together - their shared passion for music. This clash of impulses and musical styles creates the unique, individual, kaleidoscopic sound which has become GRAVY’s trademark.
GRAVY is made up of front man and songwriter Nikolaj Grummesgaard (ex-Defectors, ex-Godless Wicked Creeps) and counts a line of equally prominent names from the Copenhagen underground scene Jan Damage (Violet Hour, Little Jimmy Reeves, synth, organ, vocal) - Anders Bo (A Kid Hereafter, Sygdom, ex-Traening, ex-Complete, guitar) - Jakob Blaabjerg Pedersen (Johnson & Malone, base) – Erik Toffer (drums) – Daniel Kruse (Drums).
What strikes you the most about GRAVY is their all-pervading uncompromising, bold and defiant attitude. Gravy refuses to be dictated by charts and popular trends. They do not copy idols but draw on other musical styles and bands with respect and love. They do not dress up, act up or put on airs. Gravy is 100 % genuine and real.

Album release 16 April 2007
PRESS RELEASE:
-------------------
The Danish band GRAVY are finally set to release their follow up to the internationally acclaimed self-titled debut album from 2005, which spun off a few radio hits on the Danish alternative chart, the Barometer – especially the single ‘That Girl.’
Despite the almost chaotic making of the new album, sarcastically entitled ’Glory To Our Brilliant Name’, it introduces a warm, comfy feel, taking the listener to an old, secluded hippie hide-away and back again, on this mesmerizing pop-psychedelic album.
Influenced by the nostalgia of Technicolor and modern life, the band’s subtle love for the naivism of the 60’s and LSD-induced visions is cleverly mixed with contemporary elements from the alternative hip hop scene creating a dreamy, multi-layered and edgy sound. From the soft strings, organic organ, ethereal flutes and swooping guitars to the delicate, angelic and pious choir arrangements produced with an almost pedantic attention to detail.
And front man Nikolaj Grummesgaard is truly uncompromising when it comes to the art of making music. In his search for the perfect psychedelic sound, he tried all drugs needed to set him in the right mood for song writing. So the acid trip vibe on the album is very authentic.
Recording the album proved to be quite an ordeal for the involved musicians which count a few prominent names from the Copenhagen alternative underground scene. But they all agree that the fighting, emerging ulcers and long nights in an icy trailer during postproduction have been worth it and are thrilled they managed to complete the journey together.
A rough time for the musicians perhaps - but a real treat for the listener who is constantly surprised and captured by the details and colourful facets of this kaleidoscopic album.
’Glory To Our Brilliant Name’ is an explosion of sound leading your thoughts to sunny, far off places of the world. On this album GRAVY continue to explore their own musical vision, refusing to follow any charts and musical trends.
GRAVY bring memories of earlier days – what a thrill. We hope you feel it too – enjoy!
