In her latest indie-pop creation, Lipstick, Maxine Gillon showcases her talent as a sonic visionary. With shimmering guitars and dreamy vocals, she crafts a lush soundscape that captivates from start to finish. Gillon’s ability to blend romanticism with introspection shines through in every abstract lyrical hook. Produced, recorded, and performed entirely by herself,”Lipstick is a testament to her musical prowess. Mixed and mastered by John Lee, the track boasts a polished finish that elevates its emotive depth. With drum parts contributed by Lindy Morrison of The Go-Betweens, Gillon weaves a tapestry of sonic beauty that is uniquely her own.
Maxine shares; “I sort of see it as a love letter to the great jangly indie-pop bands of 80’s alternative UK, Australia and New Zealand, one of my favourite musical niches. It’s also a return to intricate guitar-work (what I do best). The lyrical content is about being momentarily charmed and soothed out of the everyday horror and mundanity of capitalist realism by the hypnotic beauty of women.”
“Lindy Morrison of The Go-Betweens plays drums on it which was an absolute honour, I believe her original Go-Betweens snare was in use for the session. We met in Kings Cross, Sydney years ago and have stayed in touch ever since.”
