Rhythm and Creep
about
GAHM is an acronym for “Greg and his Mew,” a nod to what he calls his biggest musical influence: the soundtracks of Pokémon. Despite that, GAHM’s music is far from kawaii. He describes his work as “rhythm & creep,” citing seemingly conflicting influences: R&B standards Bell Biv DeVoe and R. Kelly, but also Burial, System of a Down and cult darkwavers Sopor Æternus and the Ensemble of Shadows. The singer-producer established the template on the instrumental STRANGER, submerging his melodies in an impenetrable fog and interpolating everything from R&B group Az Yet to No Doubt’s ‘Don’t Speak’. He added a final element on his Awful debut THE HOUSE THAT GAHM BUILT, pairing backmasked cosmic slop with layers of his reverb-drenched vocals. And when he’s not exploring the creepy reaches of R&B, he’s Awful’s very-own hook man. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
