David Duchovny To Release Third Album "Gestureland"

originally published: 06/09/2021

(NEW YORK, NY) -- David Duchovny will release his third album Gestureland on August 20th (GMG/King Baby). This is the follow-up to Every Third Thought (2018) that All Music  called “eloquent, alt-rock-kissed country-folk in the vein of Wilco and the Wallflowers." 

Gestureland builds on the musical and lyrical themes of its predecessor while exploring some new territory as heard on the first single 'Layin' On The Tracks.'  Duchovny felt passionately about putting a song out around the election as the country braced. "I just wanted to go on record in a way that was both personal and political,” he explained. The songwriting for Gestureland is indeed a mix of political and personal exploring how people are more immersed in a virtual world, everyone making gestures rather than truly connecting.

"The album represents three years of song writing over which time I think we developed into a band so there’s a stronger element of deep collaboration here. The songs are obviously inspired by present day life and problems but we hope to make them universal. We also stretch our sound a little ——getting both heavier and lighter at different times. You want to know which songs are about me. None of them. They’re about you," said Duchovny.

Recording for the album started in February of last year at Outlier Studio in update New York and was finalized after a long pause due to Covid earlier this year at The Birdhouse in New York City. Joining Duchovny once again on the album is Colin Lee (Keys), Pat McCusker (Guitars, Synths), Mitchell Stewart (Bass), Keenan O’Meara (Guitars) and Davis Rowan (Drums.) 

McCusker talks about finishing the album "Shortly after our time at Outlier, the pandemic hit. After a month or so of being in full lockdown mode, we started recording overdubs and vocals at our studio in Long Island City. To have our own space to be able to finish Gestureland safely throughout 2020 was a blessing. The more we’ve all worked together, the more we’re all taking risks and tapping into new influences."
