We are very excited to announce that Gus has joined the Mothland booking roster for the North American territory! More here. Gus will also be performing at SXSW this year! Stay tuned for more dates across the country to be announced soon.

We are pleased to announced the release of One Eyed Jack Pt. I and II (The Interrogation/The Otherside) and One Eyed Jack Pt. III (Epilogue)! The songs are available on all streaming platforms. Listen here.

”One Eyed Jack is a railroad song, of the kind that I would imagine a group of men singing while they worked as they drove in the railroad spikes. The song starts with a Spanish-inquisition style interrogation and as the interrogee spills his beans, the legend of One Eyed Jack is slowly illuminated by his maniacal ravings. As time marches on, the legend of One Eyed Jack grows and grows until eventually he goes interdimentional. 

It’s all a bit an exercise in storytelling and speaks to the tendency that mankind has to create deities, myths and legends out of the desire to believe in something, or maybe just to have something to tell around the campfire. 

The video is a psychedelic neo-noir film Estée and I made where a detective (played by myself) tries to unravel the mystery of the One Eyed Jack cult, all donning eye patches and clad in Hawaiian shirts, by first, interrogating a One Eyed Jack devotee (also played by myself). Since most of the time, it’s only Estée and I making our videos, I sometimes have to Eddie Murphy all the characters. 

The second part of the song takes the viewer through the mythical aspect of the story and how the tale spreads. Thanks to Katerine DM, we were able to illustrate Jack’s interdimentional travels with a beautiful 3D animation à la 2001: A Space Odyssey, if I do say so myself.” -Gus
