Gecko -The Tamworth Two

The new single from Gecko ‘In This Tree’. An upbeat song about escaping the stresses that come with modern life to go and start a new life living in the forest. It features a huge array of percussive ear candy from the pitch bending flexatone, the trusty Guiro to some gaffa tape.

Its release coincides with a 15 date headline tour. Details geckoofficial.com/shows

Gecko -iPhone Therefore I Am

The new single ‘Rapunzel’ from his debut album ‘Volcano’ is a firmly feminist take on the fairytale.

It questions the logic of having a grown man painfully climbing up your hair when your main objective is to escape a tower.

'The Library' is from Gecko's album 'Volcano'

Gecko - The Library

Gecko is a singer-storyteller based in London. He’s as likely to be found performing in a living room or spoken word night as regular music venues and festivals (In 2019 he performed 10 times at
Glastonbury Festival). He’s taken two successful shows to the Edinburgh Fringe and had support from BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, Radio X & BBC Introducing. He’s shared stages with the likes of Ed
Sheeran, Loyle Carner & Billy Bragg.

Produced by Ben Mckone (Maverick Sabre, Hollie Cook) ‘Breathe’ is an upbeat song about dealing with the endless barrage of negative information that we are hit with on a daily basis. It finds hope in the simplicity and grounding of breathing. It also rhymes ‘pyjamas on’ with ‘iguanodon’(the dinosaur featured in the picture).

Recorded at Crosstown studios, London, mixed in LA & mastered in France ‘Breathe’ is an international call for hope. It ends with a sample of Gecko aged 2 from a home video in an attempt to remind us of the wonder of our early view of this Earth.

Gecko - Breathe

This song is for every musician who has ever been asked ‘can you play wonderwall’ not after but DURING a song that they are already PLAYING. For every wedding singer who’s received a look of absolute horror because they don’t instantly know the words to the drunkenly slurred inaudible request from the groom’s aunt Sharon. In a bigger sense it’s a call for acknowledgement of craft and expertise across the board but mostly it’s a fun song that manages to name drop Shania Twain and coin the phrase ‘not a jukebox I’m a man’.

Gecko - Can't Know All the Songs

Gecko - Making It Through

Back in the 1950's Russia sent a dog into space.

Her name was Laika, she was a Moscow stray,

And I'm not sure how aware of what was going on she was.

In fact no one thought it was of any importance to let her know that it would actually be a one way mission.

This is her song.

Gecko - Laika
