DREAM RIDE (BLACK VINYL)

Acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist G Flip is stepping into a new character they have coined as Butch Springsteen while revving the engine on a thrilling new album era, an '80s-inspired blast where no drumbeat is too big and neon signs flash and glow over a raucous Sunset Boulevard. Get in the car, we're going on a Dream Ride. Following the massive success of their sophomore effort, 2023's DRUMMER, which debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Charts and was named best album of the year by Triple J, Dream Ride finds the Melbourne-born, LA-based musical polymath playing every instrument and teaming back up with co-writer/producer Aidan Hogg to create an album both unpacks their experience as a queer, non-binary artist and is unabashedly inspired by Bruce Springsteen, late-night drives around Los Angeles, '80s reverb, and maximalist drums. Introducing this new era is the exuberant "Disco Cowgirl," which rumbles in with the sound of a car engine and captures the ache of fleeting love and its emotional aftermath. Already a force of personality and multi-faceted artistry, G Flip is putting rubber to the road on Dream Ride, which burns so hot it'll leave a trail of flames in the rearview
