About Gabby’s World
Something’s happening, something has changed.
Smith, has spent the last 15 years creating original work including the acclaimed albums O.K. (2015)— one of NPR Bob Boilen’s top three albums of the year — Year of the Rabbit (2016), and Beast on Beast (2018), which received accolades from Pitchfork, New York Times, The Fader, and more. Rolling Stone describes Smith as a “prolific artist” whose “winsome songs read like full-fledged novellas, at once capable of spitting truth, romancing the listener and offering consolation from life's more gnarled moments.” In addition to her solo work, Smith has continuously collaborated with artists including Japanese Breakfast, Frankie Cosmos, Barrie, Bellows and more.
GABBY SWORD offers a glimpse into the natural evolution of an artist — for Gabby herself, discovery, falling in love and marrying her wife and fellow musician Barrie Lindsay, living across the world from France to Maine, each track capturing a snapshot. The album will arrive in 2023 with an unconventional, thrilling release schedule. Each month, a new single will be announced and released, culminating in the full release of GABBY SWORD at the end of the year. Smith’s decision to break from the traditional album cycle and “waterfall” the singles is a reaction to the ever-changing landscape of the music industry. Four tracks, “Sank,” “Closing Door,” “Corrina,” and “33” have already been released this year, receiving pickup from Spotify “Fresh Finds” Indie playlist and others.
The next track “Fabby” will arrive May 5. The album was written, recorded, and performed by Gabby Smith, co-mixed and co-produced with her wife Barrie Lindsay, and will be self-released by Smith on her own label, Carrot All Records.
