"Love in Arms clearly embodies Gabriel Bruce’s eclectic personality: cheesy disco and Chris Isaak’s saccharine macho-rock. And the most aggravating thing is, that he can get away with it..." Gabriel Bruce | Love In Arms Some releases are undeniably bound to a specific genre; others split into two distinct cores, swinging between tendencies, apparently irreconcilably. Gabriel Bruce’s Love in Arms belongs to the latter category, creating a strong bond between gloomy-blues-y groove and cheesy 80s synth wave. The awaited debut of the London artist, who received glowing praise from Spector’s Fred MacPherson, clearly embodies [...]
Finally got around to listening to the GABRIEL BRUCE 's latest LP and it's automatically been fast-tracked to that best of the year list queue I never bother making. Fans of the COHEN should check out this he-singer's new video CARS NOT LEAVING that takes place on a bloody big boat.

Deep. This feels like the most appropriate adjective to use for 'Love In Arms', Gabriel Bruce’s long-awaited debut. From his lip-curling baritone, to the self consciously wry yet earnest, almost evangelical lyrics, to a sonic palette that sounds somewhere between Nick Cave and a latter-day David Bowie, this is an album that has a lot going on. Take songs three to six. At the start of this little triptych is ‘Sleep Paralysis’; a stark, echo-laden ballad that Bruce offers us a mere eight minutes in. With a muffled count-in and funereal organ intro, the song nominally explores [...]
Gabriel Bruce has something of a star-status about him. It could be his buccaneering, dashing looks coupled with flowing yet unkempt locks, it could be his remarkable baritone vocals that penetrate directly into your soul, or it could be his cocksure delivery, charming debonaire-facade, and earnest confidence that the Londoner oozes. All this is very good and well, but means little without some decent music and songwriting ability to back it all up - something that Mr Bruce fortunately very much possesses. He was kind enough to perform a new/old track titled 'Sermon on The Mount', [...]
I'm on Spring Break (kinda sorta), but I still can't get away from great music. Only fair to share it with you fine, fine people. Please enjoy.

Since we first heard from Gabriel Bruce his songs seem to be getting more and more upbeat, with the anthemic " Cars Not Leaving " being followed by the equally rousing "Greedy Little Heart." Sounding ever more like a British Bruce Springsteen, Gabriel Bruce follows a minute of slowly building instrumentation with an absolute belter of a chorus, and the song just builds and builds from there. Have a listen below, and if you want to hear Bruce's other, darker side, check out the brilliant " Sleep Paralysis. " His album Love In Arms will be released May [...]
![Gabriel Bruce - 'Greedy Little Heart' [Listen]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4851955_lg.jpg)
’Greedy Little Heart’ is a new track from charismatic Londoner Gabriel Bruce , released today in the run-up to debut album Love In Arms . A simple rhythm track wraps around a church organ to embrace Bruce’s slick, midnight vocals. He manages to pull off a confident swagger that few would manage. Love In Arms is set to be released on 6th May.
Premiering earlier today on NME , Greedy Little Heart is the latest sample to surface from Gabriel Bruce’s début LP which is due May 6th via Luv Luv Luv . Building on a foundation of organ blasts and Bruce’s trademark baritone vocal, the track quickly grows into a mammoth slice of pop that offers up myriad moments primed for stadium-sized sing-alongs. Referencing Springsteen’s penchant for the epic chorus along the way, Bruce really gets the goosebumps going with this one and has, without doubt, intensified the anticipation already felt for his fast approaching full-length...

" Cars Not Leaving " sees Gabriel Bruce 's music leaving behind the creeping melancholy that first impressed us (check out " Sleep Paralysis, " for example) for something more upbeat and anthemic, and just like the video for " Perfect Weather ," this new visual for "Cars Not Leaving" puts the focus squarely on Gabriel Bruce, allowing him to show off his considerable acting skills. Focussed on the actions of a sailor who clearly wishes he were somewhere other than the high seas, and featuring a brief cameo from Fred Macpherson from Spector, this is an engaging video for a [...]

Gabriel Bruce é aquele cara de 23 anos com uma das vozes mais impressionantes (e graves) da atualidade, que em 2012 já nos impressionou com a produção inventiva de “Sleep Paralysis” e a grandiosidade de “Perfect Weather” . Pronto para lançar seu primeiro disco este ano, Love In Arms , Bruce está de volta para apresentar o último gostinho antes da obra completa, onde deixa a melancolia dos singles anteriores de lado a favor de uma sonoridade um pouco mais animada. Ao ouvir "Cars Not Leaving" pela primeira vez, a sensação que tive [...]
A palavra chave para os novos artistas é perseverança. Assim como Lana Del Rey (preparem-se, essa não vai ser a primeira citação à cantora no post), o australiano-radicado-britânic o Josef Salvat persistiu e não desistiu, até que, por obra do destino (leia-se: uma mistura de sorte com verba das gravadoras), acabou parando em diversos blogs no início do ano, até chegar, enfim, ao nosso. E não é pra menos. Seu novo single, “This Life”, mostra que a principal motriz de sua popularidade é seu próprio talento, que pode ser observado seja na composição, nos vocais, ou nas escolhas [...]
Channelling the great gruff and weathered vocalists we know and love (Cash, Waits, Cave) and wearing the visage of a young Joe Strummer, former Loverman vocalist Gabriel Bruc e is set to rise in this coming year, with his debut Love in Arms due for a release next month. We met Bruce a few weeks back and he talked of the opportunities afforded to his status as a solo artist that just weren't on the table during his Loverman time. "I couldn't see past the [...]
Gabriel Bruce comes out kicking and screaming with his new track "Cars Not Leaving" and do we detect a slight hint of the Boss? Yes, you heard correctly, the Boss. continue reading >>
Gabriel Bruce , the gravelly voiced Londoner who first impressed us with the melancholy " Sleep Paralysis ," and further burnished his reputation with the grandiose " Perfect Weather " is back with something a little more upbeat. "Cars Not Leaving" is an anthemic, piano-backed, almost Springsteen-esque number than counterpoints Bruce's brooding baritone with a stadium-filling chorus. ( Dummy )
This blog post is aimed at those who are interested in how d-i-y music bloggers work when they open their in box, which is one, but not the only way music bloggers find the music they write about. If you just want to hear some new music, skip to the bottom of the post and pretend this waffle didn’t exist. This is essentially a quickly written, shocking amateur, navel-gazing 'look at me poor overloaded blogger' rehash of what we wrote on How To Get Your Music Featured On Blogs , but hey bands steal old ideas all the time [...]
