Today sees Australian indie pop artist/producer Gordi unveil ‘Alien Cowboy’, showcasing the true breadth of her dynamic capabilities as its dramatic delivery and cathartic crescendo skitters in to life. The track’s production is spearheaded by Gordi and Costa Rican producer Matias Mora. The duo came together in Los Angeles, sharing an outlook which contemplated what a gay utopia might look like. "I was thinking about what a gay utopia would look like. Mr Morale & The Big Steppers had just come out and we had it blaring through the speakers. I sat down at the piano and we recorded this low, subby, deteriorated part. I was imagining a scene - stumbling through the desert and this mirage appears, this beautiful Salvadore Dali-type world. Everything is melting and there is this giant figure, with their hand outstretched inviting me in. Fabricating an imaginary place where, as queer people, you could feel wholly accepted. When I got to the chorus, I wanted to turn this fictitious place into something internal, and suddenly maybe it's not a place at all, but a feeling". Sharing more detail on the track's video she goes on to say, "I explained this idea to my friend, Maddy Purdy, who put together a concept for a video. She said there would be two characters in the video - a person who owned a scorpion, and the scorpion. I was to play both. It took nearly 2 hours to get the contacts in my eyes."
