Destiny

Destiny is the second album by Australian prog-pop eccentric Gregor. It takes the spacious, inquisitive pop of his acclaimed debut Silver Drop and puts it through a warped filter.

Destiny is a lovesick epic, filled with melodies turning obsessive, lines repeating until they become mantras, and production expanding logarithmically. Beginning with the gentle beauty of The Rock (and the Stars), the album grows progressively haunted, with images reflecting and refracting until Gregor's much-loved bedroom pop is completely reimagined.

Destiny is a post-modern take on the concept album, sifting through every example from Dark Side of the Moon to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to create something wholly new.

In 2018, the spacious, acerbic pop of Silver Drop introduced Gregor to the wider world. Touching single A Song About Holding Hands became a global couple’s favourite, and Gregor sold out every headline show he played through 2018-19. Silver Drop was album of the week across Australian community radio, and Gregor was nominated for Best Album and Best Solo Artist in the 2019 Music Victoria Awards.

"Sly experimentation rearranges the drabness of reality into something ultimately intriguing" – Stereogum
"New-wave pop with a wan exterior and a warm heart” – The Guardian “You could imagine Gregor on a bill in 1982 alongside The The and Scritti Politti” – Brooklyn Vegan
