#91. CPI Archive 2009: Andrew Hamilton discovers the joy of chocolate-flavoured White Russians with Dublin folkster turned electro-head, Stace Gill.
It’s not easy growing up. Things change, you change. Some of the things you loved - the things you thought you’d never get sick of - become old and boring, cast aside like a favourite pair of ripped jeans or that Bosco mug that you got with an Easter egg. Life is a circle and to grow in one direction it is often necessary to destroy something of the opposite. So it was for Dublin singer- songwriter Stace Gill. Gill’s first steps into the world of music were taken on a road well travelled. A child of new-folk, she grew up with the sounds of Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan running through her head. Yet, as she continues to work on her first album, her folk tendencies have taken a back seat as she explores the undiscovered country of electronica. “I would never consider myself to be an amazing guitarist, I mostly like to write melody and lyrics. So I paired up with an amazing guitar player and producer called Goss - he makes the beats and I write the melodies,” she says.
