Gregor – Silver Drop

radiates with a unique blend of playfulness and emotional candor, weaving propulsive pop energy—hear-worthy in tracks like “This Heat” and “Fishing Net”—with intimate, introspective reflections blossoming in deeper cuts such as “Revise Me,” “I’ll Prove It To You,” and the mesmerizing title track. Gregor has clearly shed lyrical reticence, emerging as a confident vocalist and songwriter with a distinct voice that lingers long after the final note.

Musically, Silver Drop is a delicate yet daring exploration of synth-laced indie pop, drawing comparisons to the atmospheric grooves of Durutti Column and the emotional depth of Arthur Russell—filtered through Gregor’s own adventurous sensibility. The album moves easily between spacious, reflective spaces and sharply acerbic pop moments, offering fresh, melancholic beauty that feels both timeless and unmistakably personal. Its adventurousness and vulnerability make it one of the more touching and compelling works to emerge from Melbourne’s pop landscape.

Reviews

"Synthy indie-pop with charmingly ramshackle vocals, like a lo-fi adjunct to Ariel Pink, Holger Czukay, John Maus" – Boomkat

"Playful and idiosyncratic... a remarkable record, about as touching as anything you’ve heard, and similarly striking for its musical adventurousness" – Chapter Music

"Blending pop melodies with a humorous and raw delivery, Gregor creates slightly warped landscapes and beautiful sing-along moments" – Sungenre
