Since the groundbreaking reissues of the music of New York singer, cellist, and dub specialist Arthur Russell, who died of AIDS in 1992, several generations of musicians have referenced this unique avant-pop artist. Not all of them achieve the same level of quality as Copenhagen-based GB, who, on his 2024 debut "Gusse Music," never copies Russell but continues his collage-like approach with a different instrumentation (GB's specialty is expansive guitar delays) and similarly expressive vocals. In Berlin, he will now present his second album (with the intriguing title "Herzsprung"), which is scheduled for release at the end of August.
