GB is an artist from Copenhagen who crafts texture-heavy, adventurous guitar music cut with a pop sensibility.

"Herzsprung" is GB’s most expansive work yet. Written while living in London, the Copenhagen-based songwriter and producer spent weeks cutting up copies of Metro, one of the city’s free newspapers, to form the lyrical foundation of the songs. In makeshift studios, he began bringing these ideas to life.

Where GB’s debut record was shrouded in a downtempo haze, Herzsprung creates a distinct sound that pushes outward: something more melodic, more full-throated, and more assured. The album draws together a wide spectrum of influences; from the groove-driven fusion jazz of the 1970s to Japanese noise-rock psychedelia, anthemic grunge, and outsider pop. There are traces of the alt-pop qualities that GB shares with his Copenhagen peers, but you hear London’s influence too, an urge to stretch rock tradition and break with form.
