GARGALO

GARGALO is a project close to the heart for singer songwriter, Bruno G. Roth. The Spanish-Canadian artist had cut his teeth playing in an array of bands over the years, exposing himself to touring life and the festival circuit. Emboldened, Bruno made the decision to move to London in order to further his music career; one that has more than paid off.

A six month hiatus travelling South America was punctuated by the global pandemic, forcing him to move back to his native Spain. With strict lockdown restrictions in place, Bruno was unable to leave his house for months. Nevertheless, the changes in his life, imposed by outside forces, were cause to use writing and creating as an escape mechanism, resulting in the birth of GARGALO.

Setting up a recoding studio in the back of his brother’s van, Bruno set about working on song structures and writing demos, before entering the studio. The result was the creation of debut EP, King of Dark Waters. Taking inspiration from a range of bands of various genres, from the indie-rock soundscapes of Grizzly Bear to the hypnotic atmospherics of Beach House, GARGALO has produced an intimate, personal collection of songs. Forthcoming single Out of Sync encapsulates GARGALO’s ethereal take on indie-pop. Shimmering, emotive vocals are accented by distant harmonies, mesmerising synths and reflective lyricism. While follow up single Monroes steps into a brooding, ambitious indie-rock sphere, cocooned by dramatic, bittersweet complexities and stadium ready bombast.

Having experienced appearances on the likes of MTV WINTER while in bands, as well as playing in front of up to 30,000 people, a shift to a solo project has allowed Bruno to blossom as an artist. Now he is eager to share his sparkling style of music, under the guise of GARGALO, with a new generation of music lovers far and wide.
