Japanese Wallpaper
The 17-year-old ambient electronic producer plays his debut Brisbane show.
Overview
Melbourne's 17-year-old bedroom producer, Gab Strum, is probably more talented than you are. Strum, who otherwise goes under the moniker of Japanese Wallpaper, recently played Splendour in the Grass for the first time, won this year's triple j Unearthed High Competition and had his music featured on the soundtrack of Zach Braff's new film, Wish I Was Here. Now, he's embarking a mini-national tour of sorts, with a couple of shows spanning Melbourne and Brisbane.
Japanese Wallpaper's ambient electronic-pop is a breath of fresh air in the Australian music scene, drawing similarities between other lo-fi artists like Washed Out or Teen Daze. His recent single, Between Friends, is a lush track of summer nostalgia, thanks to his collaboration with vocalist Jesse Davidson, who elevates his tunes with a splendid three-dimensionality.
Tickets to his first two shows in Melbourne have sold out, so get on it before it's too late.
