1. Gordi is a indie-pop singer/songwriter based in Sydney, Australia.
2. GORDI - ex-Yugoslavian rock / Heavy Metal band
Raised in the small, farming community of Canowindra in Australia’s New South Wales, amongst a minuscule population of 2381, Payten learned to play piano and guitar in her house — with Billy Joel on near-constant rotation. She left the rural life in her late-teens to pursue a medical education in Sydney alongside her musical career. The dichotomy of those environments — the pastoral and the modern — is surely a guiding influence in Gordi’s music. Earthy, wistful folk songs are cloaked in delicate-but- bold electronic production. And what an effortlessly flooring voice to carry it all, at once fractured and brimming with richness. These are songs you could hear bouncing through the alleyways of the city as much as you could hear them rolling across the fields. Fans in Payten’s native Australia have already been treated to a number of these magical musical moments courtesy of consistent rotation on triple j and FBi Radio, including nominations for a triple J J Award and 2 FBi SMAC Awards in 2015, on top of being named triple j Unearthed’s most played artist during 2015.
The single, "Can We Work It Out" has the big, worldly drums of those aforementioned Peter Gabriel classics and a towering, multi-layered vocal chorus that will instantaneously sear itself into your musical memory. The soft gallop and airy melody of EP opener “Nothing’s As It Seems” feels like the bittersweet sunset of a four-day weekend on the water. “So Here We Are”, a heartbreaking lo-fi piano and vocoder-led ballad. While the instrumentally lush “Wanting” submerges you in a joyous sonic landscape, a bold aesthetic for a tale of longing and reconciliation.
Moments in the EP may recall the early albums of Beth Orton, but more storming and redesigned for the stadiums, festivals and amphitheatres of the 21st Century. Staking that claim, Gordi is already sharing stages with contemporaries like Of Monsters And Men, Highasakite, Little May, Dustin Tebbutt and more. Clever Disguise was created with Melbourne producer Ben McCarthy with additional production by Alex Somers (Sigur Ros) and Francois Tetaz (Gotye). And if it’s merely an aperitif for what Gordi has coming up, we’re in for a magnificent show.

Wear me, wear me out
It's all strung out
You found what carried you
Fall out, everyone fall out
Get lost in this town
Some road that's getting worn
At our feet, at our feet now
'Cause I got older
And we got tired
Heaven I know that we tried
Heaven I know
Heaven I know
Yeah, I got older
And we got tired
Heaven I know that we tried
Heaven I know
Heaven I know
Heaven I know that we tried
Heaven I know
Heaven I know
Longer still, withstanding the most I will
Still be the most I can
Drying out, dragging down now
'Cause I got older
And we got tired
Heaven I know that we tried
Heaven I know

Heaven I know that we tried

Counting off, setting the beat for the song
Wear me, wear me out
Feeling exhausted, drained
It's all strung out
Things are tense, stretched out to the limit
You found what carried you
Someone or something supported you through tough times
Fall out, everyone fall out
Exiting a situation, leaving behind people and places
Get lost in this town
Feeling disconnected, like you don't belong
Some road that's getting worn
A path that's been traveled many times before
'Cause I got older
Growing up, maturing over time
And we got tired
A collective exhaustion, possibly in a relationship or friendship
Heaven I know that we tried
Acknowledging the effort put forth in a situation
Yeah, I got older
Repeating that growing up is a natural part of life
Longer still, withstanding the most I will
Enduring hardships to the best of one's ability
Still be the most I can
Continuing to strive for personal growth
Drying out, dragging down now
Feeling depleted, weighed down by life's struggles
Ascending, ascending now
Rising up, moving forward
Heaven I know
Expressing hope or faith
Oh, heaven I know
Repeating that hope or faith

Me use, me tire
Está tudo estragado
Você encontrou o que transportou você
Caia fora, todo mundo cai fora
Perca-se nesta cidade
Alguma estrada que está ficando desgastada
Aos nossos pés, aos nossos pés agora
Porque eu envelheci
E nos cansamos
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei
Sim, envelheci
E nos cansamos
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei
Mais ainda, resistindo ao máximo eu vou
Ainda ser o máximo que posso
Secando, arrastando para baixo agora
Porque eu envelheci
E nos cansamos
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
Ascendente, subindo agora
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
Ascendente, subindo agora
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
Céu eu sei
Oh céu, eu sei
Céu eu sei que nós tentamos
