Some people never really leave us. With their newly released single, So Far, Peckham-based dream pop duo Gravegonzo open the door to a new chapter, anticipating the arrival of their sophomore album, An Eternal Night, on October 30, just in time for Halloween.
Formed by Sam Beahan and Harrison Bamford, Gravegonzo are entering a new creative phase after their debut album, Their Fantasy Mirrors. Their sound, which moves between electronic experimentation and alternative pop, is taking a darker, more atmospheric direction. Describing their forthcoming record on social media, the duo said it blends “shoegaze, ambient, and pop hooks” into an extremely personal exploration of death, time, and memory. So Far introduces this evolving universe while building anticipation for what comes next.
“The album is a fever dream of memories. Moments that echo through time and distort its tempo, be it a death or a new love,” they shared. It’s a fascinating way of approaching a project that emerged, in part, from the passing of Beahan’s father. Yet An Eternal Night promises to explore much more than grief, examining how certain experiences continue to shape us long after they have happened and how memory can blur the boundaries between past and present.
This deeply personal approach extends to the album’s visual identity. Created with artist Robbie Hume, its artwork incorporates symbols inspired by memories, lyrics and references connected to the project. “All symbols are drawings Robbie and I made of memories, lyrics, and references that inspired the album,” the musicians explained.
Produced by Lawrence Hart, An Eternal Night also reflects the duo’s experimental approach to music-making, with David Lynch’s creative philosophy playing an important role in shaping their vision. With So Far offering a first taste of what’s to come and the album arriving in just over two weeks, Gravegonzo are getting ready to share their most personal chapter yet, reminding us that some memories never truly disappear. They simply find new ways to exist.
