Trying by GIMMY

Third Eye Stimuli is pleased to share the debut EP from Gimmy Flowens — the bold solo project of Northern Rivers-based artist, Gemma Owens. You may be familiar with Owens as singer and guitarist of charismatic garage-rock quartet, The Oogars. While this new solo adventure is bursting with the same kind of charm, there’s an added level of rawness and intimacy at play.

Gimmy Flowens' 3-track EP ‘Trying’ is out on December 17th, featuring recent singles ‘Vulnerable’, ‘Don’t Be Afraid’ and the title track. As a whole, the EP is about breaking free from self doubt — to motivate and empower yourself. Each track is written as though Gimmy is being brutally honest about her own flaws, while encouraging herself and those listening, to do our best.

Recorded with Anthony Vallone (producer/engineer) at Wave Form Studios, 'Trying' strikes the perfect balance of vintage flavour and modern production gloss, tying the collection together with an aesthetic that everyone can appreciate.

With a diverse musical scope across the 3 singles, Gimmy Flowens appears to have a chameleon approach to her music, with her stunning vocal delivery and lyricism always placed firmly in the foreground. Her colourful palette, dynamic range and outsider approach to pop songwriting is clearly leading Gimmy into exciting territory that could be likened to Aldous Harding, Angel Olsen and Julia Jacklin.

Considering the momentum she’s developed from such a strong start along with her powerful live performances, we’re expecting a vibrant 2022 ahead for Gimmy Flowens. Her complete ‘Trying’ EP is out on all digital platforms from Dec 17th.

GIMMY (pronounced “gimmie”) is the project of Australian artist Gemma Owens. The band is known for their energising blend of garage rock, punk, new wave and indie-folk, delivered through powerful vocals and unapologetically honest songwriting.
