Hector Gachan

Oscillating from his younger age between different countries, Hector Gachan is like the image of his music: Timeless and without borders. At only 25 years old, Hector Gachan released a promising first album. Based in Sydney, the young man also lived in Sarajevo in Bosnia-Herzegovina.It’s in the privacy of his room that he composed pop tubes to the immediate efficiency.This eponymous album has great ambitions while keeping a slacker aesthetic. It sometimes reminds me of the chillwave of Neon Indian, Soft Hair’s glam incursions, the playful daydreaming of PandaBear ‘s Person Pitch album and the white lo-figroove of Part Time. Far from copying his elders, Hector Gachan managed to create miniature tubes as endearing as they were. He thus delivers eleven pop songs and as many little bedroom music hymns. Resolutely DIY, Hector Gachan writes about the turpitude of his life, these impressions of Donald Trump or his exasperation against the hooligans.Funny, sometimes offbeat or even melancholic texts that recall those of Mac DeMarco and John Maus. Two other idols of which the young Australian claims.
