Read excerpt
Alexander Gow has released a brilliant new album, 'Bodyline'. Best known as the frontman of Oh Mercy, Gow reflects on the evolution of his craft—from ARIA-winning records to striking out on his own—and unpacks the stories behind an album that embraces intimacy, restraint and lyrical precision.
