Ahead of his debut LP Slow Gum, due for release on June 29th, Australian Singer/songwriter Fraser A. Gorman has premiered his new single “Shiny Gun” with a music video featuring Courtney Barnett, who assists as the sports correspondent on a fun ’70s-style news broadcast turned jam session.

Twisting the very roots or country, rock’n’roll and folk, with “Shiny Gun” Gorman delivers a warmly rousing anthem in waiting, genuflecting to the greats such as Woody Guthrie while also forging his own unique path more akin to modern outsider heroes like Cass Mccombs and Bill Callahan. As always with Gorman, his distinctly oddball wit and wry poetry courses through the song’s veins, culminating in a chorus that’s as heart-tugging as it’s uplifting.
