Alexander Gow, the Melbournian man behind the ARIA Award winning

Alexander Gow, the Melbournian man behind the ARIA Award winning Oh Mercy has established the name as an iconic Australian act. At 29, he’s regarded as one of Australia’s most acclaimed singer/songwriters. Gow is a willing accomplice to a lyrical curiosity which sees him combine his love for the existential and absurd with a breadth of literary influences along with a perpetual air of romance. His adoration of pop hooks stems from a teenage love of Bacharach and those melodic sensibilities endure. Releasing four albums since his 2009 Debut, Gow has a string of ARIA nominations under his belt for the albums ‘Great Barrier Grief’, ‘Deep Heat’ and an ARIA win for his most recent, 2015’s ‘When We Talk About Love’.
