Today, Great Gable releases their highly anticipated debut album Tracing Faces via ADA Worldwide. The Perth four-piece marks the release with the sprawling and triumphant new single and title track, ‘Tracing Faces‘. Directed by Daniel Hildebrand, the accompanying music video captures the band amongst the breathtaking panoramas of Quinninup, in the depths of south Western Australia.
A reflection on being isolated from the person you love, ‘Tracing Faces’ is a Beatles-inspired anthem bursting with light and optimism.
“This song was one we felt that producers Matt Corby and Alex Henriksson would have a lot to add to,” says guitarist Matt Preen. “Sonically we wanted an old school vintage vibe and they both have such command with those sounds.”

Written in a cabin among the Karri forests and a Chestnut Farm in the south west of Western Australia, and recorded at The Music Farm in Byron Bay, Tracing Faces is an album that fully reflects the solid relationship that the band have after years of writing and touring together. The result is a collection of music that showcases the incredible range and influence of the band, with their classic sound augmented and empowered by producers Alex Henriksson and Matt Corby.
Featuring the hypnotic and buoyant single ‘Blur‘ which claimed the #2 most played position on triple j, their addictive lead single ‘All My Friends‘ and recent album track ‘I Wonder‘, their debut LP is upbeat, yet dreamy, lush and vulnerable as it tackles themes of love, heartbreak and mental health.
“Recording at The Music Farm surrounded by nature definitely influenced the overall vibe of the album,” says bassist Chris Bye of the recording process. “Working with Alex Henriksson and Matt Corby was incredible, they are such legends. They helped us bring out the best in our songs and really inspired us,” adds drummer Callum Guy.
Great Gable has quickly amassed a fervent, die-hard fanbase following the 2019 release of The Lazy Bones EP featuring singles ‘I Swear‘ and ‘Cool Mind Blue‘. Renowned for their mesmerising and commanding live performance, they’ve supported the likes of Ocean Alley, The Jungle Giants, Thelma Plum and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and performed festival sets at Groovin The Moo, Falls Festival and SOTA Fest.
