Hector Gachan is a Bosnian Australian musician currently based in Edinburgh. His debut LP “Untitled ’91” released in the winter of 2017 cultivated a cult following from around the world. Since then he has gradually worked on his sophomore LP “Care 2 Share”. The eponymous track & second single of this album is out today!

“Care 2 Share” is a clever mix of synthesizers and guitar riffs that create a mellow Indie-Pop ballad. The main guitar riff is something that Hector had originally written 10 years ago after first hearing legendary tracks like “Footsteps in the Dark” by The Isley Brothers and “Hung up on my Baby” by Isaac Hayes.

Sasha’s Indie guitar sparkles over a squishy dance beat with lyrical reminders that a once mutual connection has gone radio active. The chorus hits with classic Amor Amor panache while Chi’s psychedelic vocal melodies flex falsetto hooks. Grab a watermelon slushy, kill the fling cause you got a new vibe now.
