Fueled by dreams of returning to his hometown of Rancho Cucamonga and reconnecting with old friends from past hardcore bands,\u00a0Wainright\u00a0holed up with his coveted pink Jazzmaster, an array of FX pedals, and a laptop, and wrote the entire album in a month. In March of 2021, he made the move, heading back west to the Inland Empire, where he booked sessions with Gabe Largaespada at Open Ocean to track and mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite recording every instrument himself, the results have the lived-in feel of a practiced live band (which\u00a0Cold Gawd\u00a0now are, fleshed into a six-piece). Cascading walls of guitar churn, surge, and ripple, framed by sunken rhythms and Wainright\u2019s distant, defeated voice, veiled in violet haze.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video for\u00a0the first single lifted from \u2018God Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here\u2019 titled <em>Sweet Jesus Wept Shit<\/em> via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d0N2qmbOyxg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wainwright\u00a0cites the thematic common ground between shoegaze and R&amp;B as a central muse, both obsessively fixated on love, lust, and longing, in forms alternately grandiose and minor key.\u00a0Lyrically, the album sways between oblique and desperate, yearning and resigned \u2013\u00a0with the exception of <em>Comfort Thug<\/em>, a brooding, largely improvised spoken word piece inspired by the notable lack of black musicians in shoegaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold Gawd\u00a0is here to change that.\u00a0\u2018God Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here\u2019 channels malaise and melancholy into gauzy, galvanized anthems of escape, change, and introspection.
