Corey Gulkin revels in the peculiar and makes it feel like home. Emerging from the world of folk music, Gulkin came to prominence early in her career as the winner of the 2013 John Lennon Songwriting Grand Prize. In recent years, Gulkin has alchemised their musical pedigree through experimentation. Their 2018 full-length All The Things I'll Forget, which chronicled an abusive relationship with nuanced insight, provided an artistic release that allowed them to approach their next project with a renewed sense of possibility. After recovering from a neck injury in 2020, they reclaimed the role of lead guitarist and honed their vocal power, channelling queer heartbreak, love and rage. With Gulkin's tenacity and vulnerability at the forefront, their new album Half Moon (2023, Anything Bagel) revels in this new territory, leaping into the world of art rock. From furious guitar solos to tender improvisations and cathartic moments, Gulkin's live set is an adventure.
