In recent years, Gulkin have alchemised their musical pedigree through experimentation. With Gulkin's tenacity and vulnerability at the forefront, their new album Half Moon (2023, Anything Bagel) revels in new territory, leaping into the world of art rock. Confrontational, restless and spirited, Gulkin ride the terror and thrill of refusing to back down, carried by the unique vibrato of her voice. From furious guitar solos to tender improvisations and cathartic moments, Gulkin's live set is tenacious and adventurous.
