“DC Gore might have come late to songwriting, but he’s making up for that now.” Observer
“Awash with romanticism.” The I Paper
“DC Gore could be Jarvis Cocker’s heir apparent…with the occasional nod to New Order and OMD also in the mix, it’s quite the statement, all told. One to watch.” Electronic Sound
“All These Things showcases DC Gore’s bright and inventive vision for something truly unique, and makes for a compelling listen throughout.” Mystic Sons
“Birthing a major new solo talent whose work will surely continue, to inspire, provoke, and perhaps most importantly, move people for years to come…” Louder Than War

Following the release of his synth-layered debut album All These Things last year, today DC Gore announces a deluxe edition of the politically prescient album, due for digital release on 8th December via Domino. Featuring previously released singles such as the sophisticated art-pop “California” and the propulsive dance track “Nietzsche On The Beach”, the deluxe edition also features original demos as well as a string of new remixes from the likes of Raf Rundell and Working Men’s Club, the latter of which is released today.

By expertly lacing hypnotic beats with Gore’s culminating vocal line, Working Men’s Club transform the original of “Need You Tonight” into a darker and tantalisingly lustful love song. “For this mix I tried to reevaluate my approach towards remixing,” Syd Minsky-Sargeant of Working Men’s Club reflects. “This time taking the full vocal in an attempt to re-produce the original song with a pop structure and dance floor flavours and sensibilities. I didn’t really want to mess with the original too much, instead I just tried to add my sounds around the words allowing the vocals to carry the mix.”

“I was already a big fan of Working Men’s Club so hearing them reimagine what is a very personal song was one of those head shrinking moments,” Gore comments. “It can be hard to hear different takes on your songs sometimes, but it was such a fresh and addictive idea, it just reminded me of that David Lynch quote about ‘the author’s take is often the least interesting interpretation of the work’.”

Labelled as one of the Observer’s One’s To Watch, Gore was likened to “Jarvis Cocker…with the occasional nod to New Order and OMD” by Electronic Sound on All These Things’ release and The I Paper noted it was “awash with romanticism”. Blissful highlights include the tragicomic “Nietzsche On The Beach”, the melancholic dancefloor-focused “California” and “Bodies” featuring plaintive piano chords and distorted guitar. The deluxe edition of the album features never heard-before demos as well as instant dance-floor remixes of beloved tracks from the likes of The KVB, moa moa and Raf Rundell.

Of the deluxe edition, Gore says: “It’s been a real pleasure to hear the songs doing their own things as if they exist separate to me. The KVB’s fantastic rework of Nietzsche was so hauntingly similar to the original demo as to make me think perhaps there is some sort of universal field we all tap into. Yet at the other end of the spectrum, getting to hear Raf and Sarah’s completely original take on the same song was really special. I find the actual process of songwriting can be a little too mysterious and so often out of your control. I forget sometimes that the song could really be anything, depending on who’s listening.”

From the dissolution of south London trio Little Cub, Gore remodelled and reimagined the band’s electronic synth-pop within his solo work to incorporate additional acoustic instrumentation which makes for a more textured and temperate sound. As inspired by the unvarnished portraiture of Martin Parr as he is Ballardian grotesquerie - and the arch art-pop commentary of Neil Tennant, his music sits proudly within a rich tradition of distinctively British disrupters.

Skewering notions of national identity with a vivid mix of pin-sharp satire in an expansive palette of synthesising new wave art-rock, DC Gore effortlessly creates songs that are as ingeniously calculated as they are dance-inducing.
