Felicity Groom – Gossamer
The isolation both cultural and geographical in places like Perth has led to more than one instance of unique art growing out of said environment. The latest shining light to support the theory is Felicity Groom. Her debut album Gossamer is overabundant with inimitable riches.
Not content to take the journey alone, Felicity has enlisted friends from fellow Perth acts such as Jebediah and Tame Impala to help her realise her vision and what a vision it is. Throughout Gossamer, the surprises present themselves like sparkling diamonds rolled out on a black velvet cloth.
Felicity steps way outside the minimalist female singer/songwriter fare of acoustic guitar driven songs with more than a fair share of angst and boldly kicks things out with aggressive guitar Building A House, hook laden pop Finders & Keepers and even dips into the theatrical with Fire And Brimstone. It’s not all over energised output though and there are still moments of quiet reflection like Her Now Forever.
Using the singer/songwriter job description as just a started point and not an end result, Felicity Groom has fashioned a future for herself where her muse can take her anywhere. She also has the skills and verve to make all those directions feel right.
