Fans of Stealing Sheep and others may be familiar with this chap from a handful of support slots around the UK, but for the uninitiated, allow us to introduce southern California’s Gonzalla. Actually a chap named Cody, Gonzalla grew up splitting him time between surfing and listening to the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel and Joni Mitchell, nurturing a deep love for the art of songwriting. It will in no way make you jealous of his upbringing when you read this: “I lived in a town called Huntington Beach near LA which is a wonderful place, I would surf in the morning and than later that evening go see groups perform in Hollywood, I had the best of both worlds.” But try not to hate him because he makes some fine sounds, the latest of which is his new single ‘Heart’, featuring Nora Konstanse on vocals. Part of an ongoing series in which Gonzalla aims to release a new song every month, ‘Heart’ is available from today.
