With his debut EP Weather & Dogs? dropping in just a couple of days, I thought it was about time I introduced you to Flynn Gurry’s latest single “Running.” A powerful exploration of mental health, this track really showcases Flynn’s talents as a songwriter.
“The songwriting process for ‘Running’ was a really pivotal moment for me, I was actually gaining an understanding and seeing the way that I was dealing with the poor mental health I was experiencing at the time,” Flynn admitted. “My way of coping was to just ignore and run from it by isolating myself and refusing the help that was being laid out in front of me. Being aware of the dark content in this song, I really wanted to ensure that the production on the track wasn’t necessarily overcompensatingly ‘happy’, but it wasn’t just all doom and gloom – I feel Jan [Skubiszewski, producer] and I found a great balance.”
Weather & Dogs? drops this Friday, September 23. I’ve already taken a listen and I know you’re going to love it. Flynn will support Goanna at their show at the Lighthouse Theatre in his hometown of Peek Wurrong/Warrnambool on October 27.
