It’s got a bit of Matthew E. White, chilled out BC Camplight and Conor Oberst. The inviting and perceptive songs on Rui Gabriel’s debut LP Compassion all tackle growing up. It’s about how the older you get, your priorities shift, friendships evolve, and responsibilities become inescapable. For Gabriel, the Indiana-based, Venezuela-born artist and co-founder of the acclaimed band Lawn, the changes in his own life inspired him to write a solo full-length that sounds like nothing the indie rock journeyman has done before. Across 10 vibrant tracks that combine ethereal pop with slacker-rock and piano-driven dance music, it’s a galvanizing showcase of personal growth and the grace you give yourself to push forward. Work on Compassion started in 2018 when Gabriel was living in New Orleans. “I was living a pretty teenage life in many ways,” says Gabriel. “I worked at a pizza restaurant and would just go to shows or parties. I wasn’t doing anything other than music. I didn’t have many responsibilities.” The songs he was working on at the time—tracks that didn’t fit Lawn but Gabriel still liked—initially went unfinished. But as Gabriel’s life changed, so did his songwriting and his desire to see his ideas through. “When I was writing lyrics, I was settling down with my partner and about to become a dad,” says Gabriel. “I was making choices about my life that contradicted the existence I had before. I had a different set of priorities.” The songs on Compassion deal with youthful carelessness (“Dreamy Boys”) and coming face-to-face with newfound responsibilities (“Change Your Mind”). It’s consistently a biting, observant look at getting older thanks to Gabriel’s unique perspective as a South American immigrant who’s lived across the United States for the past 13 years. “When you are Hispanic, English isn’t your first language, and you’re in a music scene with a bunch of white people, you’re going to stand out a little bit,” he says. On “Church of Nashville,” “Hey, Leonard Cohen is singing poems by the gentrified alley” he humorously aims at scene pretension and industry gatekeepers. Compared to Gabriel’s work with Lawn, where he writes frenetic post-punk songs and yells, for Compassion he explores more straightforward pop sensibilities and showcases his singing voice. “I wanted to do a solo record to prove to myself that I could sing,” says Gabriel. Take the meditative, piano-based lead single “Target,” which is inspired by Dido and finds Gabriel gorgeously harmonizing with singer Kate Teague. He reaches similar infectiousness on the sunny rocker “Summertime Tiger,” which guests Stef Chura. Co-produced by Gabriel and Nicholas Corson (The Convenience, Video Age), Compassion is consistently warm, generous, colorful, and adventurous. “Compassion is a record about change,” says Gabriel. “It’s a coming-of-age record but for somebody who’s coming of age into their thirties.” Artist Rui Gabriel Genre Rock And Pop Label Carpark Records Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Dreamy Boys Target Church Of Nashville Hunting Knife Summertime Tiger If You Want It Change Your Mind Eyes Only End Of My Rope Money Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Monophonics Sage Motel Rock And Pop | Colemine Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 13th May 2022 £26.00 Select options Monophonics Sage Motel £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Colemine Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 13th May 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Jesse Malin Sad and Beautiful World Rock And Pop | Wicked Cool | 2LP Released 24th September 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jesse Malin Sad and Beautiful World £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wicked Cool SKU: WKC938251 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 24th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Maddie Jay CMYK Rock And Pop | Diggers Factory | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th January 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Maddie Jay CMYK £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Diggers Factory SKU: MJ10 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Icarus Line, The Avowed Slavery Rock And Pop | Agitated | 1LP Released 16th June 2014 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Icarus Line, The Avowed Slavery £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Agitated SKU: AGIT029 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Honig It’s Not A Hummingbird, It’s Your Fathers Ghost Rock And Pop | Haldren Pop Recordings | 1LP Released 25th August 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Honig It’s Not A Hummingbird, It’s Your Fathers Ghost £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Haldren Pop Recordings SKU: HPR89 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chelsea Wolfe Hiss Spun Rock And Pop | Sargent House | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 22nd September 2017 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chelsea Wolfe Hiss Spun £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sargent House SKU: SH185LP Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Daniel Johnston Welcome To My World Rock And Pop | Eternal Yip Eye Music | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th September 2022 £23.00 Select options Daniel Johnston Welcome To My World £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Eternal Yip Eye Music Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Foreigner 4 (Atlantic 75 Series) Rock And Pop | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 27th September 2024 £75.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Foreigner 4 (Atlantic 75 Series) £75.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: AAPA 069-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 27th September 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Leonard Cohen Songs From The Road (2008-09) Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 24th September 2010 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Leonard Cohen Songs From The Road (2008-09) £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP193 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 24th September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Jeff Beck There And Back Rock And Pop | Epic | 1LP Released 17th October 2023 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jeff Beck There And Back £8.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Epic SKU: nn274370 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Rock And Pop Start again
