Says Alex of the first single from the fourth Oh Mercy album - still untitled... โSandy is a fast song. Faster than the other ones. Or slower. It really just depends on how you count the bars. And which song you compare it to. Faster than a real slow song. Slower than a real fast one. Sandy is a stuck in the middle kind of song. I wrote it in Nashville. I was walking to a Mexican restaurant. It's about self loathing. And self loathing by way of resenting someone who loves you. Just for loving you! (what a world!!!). It's a little about needing it. But wishing you didnโt need it. In the end you're god damn glad you got it.โ
Alex Gow recently returned home to Melbourne from the States where he spent time in Nashville, Portland and Los Angeles, disconnected and rootless - a โromatic saboteurโ creating his forthcoming album.

Gow is one of Australiaโs most acclaimed singer/songwriters. Releasing three albums by the time he was 25, he won the โOutstanding Potential Awardโ at the AMPโs in 2009 and was awarded the EG Music โOutstanding Achivementโ Award in 2012. He also has a string of ARIA nominations under his belt for the albums Privileged Woes, Great Barrier Grief and most recent, Deep Heat.
