“Closing Door” takes Smith’s songwriting in a different direction from the previous single, “Sank,” replacing dark, spacious synth tones with bright, pop-leaning, early-aughts-sounding guitars and optimistic synth sounds. Smith wrote and arranged the song, then mixed and produced it with her wife, Barrie Lindsay (Barrie). The track also features drums by Cameron Wisch (formerly a member of Porches and CENDE) The lyrics are available here.
ABOUT GABBY’S WORLD:
Gabby’s World is the recording and performance project of songwriter and producer Gabby Smith. Originally from New York City, Smith has had a long career in music, collaborating and working with artists including Frankie Cosmos, Japanese Breakfast, Barrie, Bellows, and more. After a five-year hiatus from releasing music, with a stint studying human evolutionary biology at Columbia University, Smith has amassed a large collection of new songs that span a variety of moods and genres.
Gabby’s World’s newest release will come out in 2023 with a somewhat experimental album cycle release plan. A new single will be announced and released each month of the year, eventually culminating in a full album later in 2023, entitled GABBY SWORD. The first track, “Sank,” came out on January 27th. While the last record was recorded in collaboration with the live band, this next batch of songs is the work of Smith alone, with production input from Barrie Lindsay. GABBY SWORD will be self-released on Smith’s own label, Carrot All Records, which now houses previous Gabby’s World releases O.K. (2015) and Beast On Beast (2018).
