Superchorus, the DIY indie project of David Gauci today shares his elliptical debut EP, Back Online. LISTEN HERE.
Joining the previously released title track, that considers human interactions on and offline, is the laid back 'Slip Away', an ode to romanticism over time, and wanting to hold onto that spark, written in one pouring. 'Race Is Run', the first and fastest song written, comments on the passing of time and how despite the world around us changing, sometimes things stay the same, old habits are repeated and mistakes never learnt from. 'Love To Give' is a shoegaze heavy layering of arpeggiated synths and thudding drums, forming a haunted dream of what could be. David explains "It’s a song about dreaming of things outside of your control, but still keeping a level head, so that if everything falls apart, it’s not much different from where you began." Closing Back Online is 'I Want To Be The One', an uplifting, whimsical number that could feel right at home on the Submarine soundtrack.
Of his formal debut as Superchorus, David shares "Releasing this EP is a huge personal moment for me. Having been involved extensively in the local music scene since 2014, it is a really nice feeling to finally be able to release a body of my own work that I'm extremely proud of. I've been chipping away at my sound for the better part of the past decade, so it is with great pleasure that I can put out this EP and be happy with every single part of it! It finally feels like a really good time for Superchorus to become a thing, as I've spent a long time collaborating with people and playing in other people's bands, and it's really taught me that patience and persistence isn't all for nothing. I feel like I have really matured as a musician and a songwriter, and have been so lucky to have all of the opportunities I've received over the years."
Across Back Online is a journey of self reflection, exploring loneliness, unrequited love and more through its five tracks. "I spent a lot of time alone while writing this EP, and I think it’s pretty evident from the themes and subjects explored" he continues. What sets Superchorus apart from the crowd is David’s driving passion to share music that’s there for you through everything, whether it be times of joy or to lean on through moments of sadness, to express what you wished you could to someone else, or to give assurance to your deepest thoughts. If there's one thing to take away from Superchorus' debut, it's that sometimes, the thing you've been searching for has been sitting in front of you this whole time and may very well be untapped within oneself.

ABOUT SUPERCHORUS
David Gauci’s tenure as a key figure in the Warrang / Sydney scene as a former member of Hatchie, Death Bells, and most notably in electronic pop trio GAUCI, has extended the better part of a decade. Cutting his teeth as a regular touring guitarist across enough outfits to lose count of, today David stands as a dedicated participant of the local indie scene who overtime found himself more and more drawn to reflecting on his inner thoughts and feelings, and a desire to stand on his own. As Superchorus, David threads together the sonic influences of Arcade Fire and Blur brought up on a love of My Bloody Valentine, re-imagined contemporarily like Alex G and Snail Mail, with a unique ability to take the bedroom to the studio.
