Gouge Away will release their third album, Deep Sage on March 15th via Deathwish Inc. The album has been an on-and-off work in progress since 2019 with it coming to fruition just before 2022. In 2023, the band entered the studio and recorded the new album in analog and almost entirely live. Vocalist, Christina Michelle comments:
Recording live and to tape creates an intense environment where we have no choice but to feed off each other’s energy. We have to get it right in one take and if anyone messes up we all have to start over, so no one wants to be that guy. It adds an element of risk and excitement. We don’t want to sound beautifully polished or perfect anyway. We want to sound like the five of us being human, and no one is better than Jack Shirley when it comes to capturing what it feels like in the room.
