Gustaffson have released new single Lights Under Goodison, paying homage to Everton’s iconic home of Goodison Park. This will be the last season of football at the Old Lady and Gustaffson lead singer Andrew Gower wanted to pay homage to this historic club’s ‘Spiritual Home’ with his lyrics. The band hope the song will be sung all the way from Winslow Pub to the stands of the famous Gwlady’s Street.

Lights Under Goodison was recorded at Coastal Sound Recording Studio in Liverpool and comes a week before the last ever Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park on 7th December.

Liverpool-born singer and songwriter Andrew Gower formed Gustaffson in 2020 with lifelong friend and guitarist James Webster. Though best known for his acting roles in acclaimed TV shows such as Black Mirror, Outlander, and Carnival Row, Gower has been writing music since the age of 15.

Gustaffson have recently released two of three exclusive singles from their debut album Black & White Movie, the vibrant On Broadway, listen here and the hauntingly beautiful Flowers. The album, out on 15th March 2025, is produced by Elbow’s Craig Potter and features collaborations with Emmy-winning composer Bear McCreary and legendary actor Sir Ben Kingsley.

The formation of Gustaffson was serendipitous. While on a film set, Gower met Elbow musician and producer Craig Potter, sparking a musical collaboration. Gustaffson recorded their debut EP, The Jacaranda, at the iconic Blue Print Studios in Manchester with new band members David Gleave (bass) and Graham Bennett (drums). Released in August 2022, the EP was played across national BBC Radio stations and was even named Record of the Week on Guy Garvey’s Finest Hour (BBC Radio 6).

In 2023, Gustaffson welcomed Liam Morson (keys) and returned to Blueprint Studios to record their live single, Northern Baby, once again with Craig Potter, who also mixed the track. This single made its radio debut on BBC Manchester and was featured on BBC Sport. In August 2023, they released Champagne Socialist, recorded on the Liverpool Empire stage, receiving rave reviews from BBC Introducing, among others. The live music video pays homage to legendary performances on the Empire stage by acts such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Chuck Berry.

In January 2024, Gustaffson completed recording their debut album, Black & White Movie, at Blueprint Studios, with Elbow’s Craig Potter returning as producer. The album includes a collaboration with Emmy-winning composer Bear McCreary and features legendary actor Sir Ben Kingsley. On Broadway is the first of three exclusive singles from the album accompanied by a small UK tour covering Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and London. The highly anticipated album is set to be released on 14th March 2025.

Gustaffson’s debut album: where music and film converge to tell extraordinary tales of ordinary lives. With 13 tracks that serve as individual cinematic experiences, Andrew Gower’s poignant lyrics, honed over 15 years as an actor, shines light & darkness on the duality of human existence. Seamlessly blending the iconic sounds of both music and film industries, this album invites listeners on a journey where every track is a movie in its own right. Gustaffson are excited to present this original vintage record in a modern algorithmic world.

There are few concert settings in Britain as naturally dramatic as the Eden Sessions. Nestled within a former clay pit and framed by the iconic biomes of the Eden Project, the venue possesses a unique sense of occasion before a note is even played. On this June evening, the Cornish weather appears determined to play its part too. Persistent rain hangs over the site for much of the day, only to disappear almost on cue as Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid walk on stage. It feels as though somebody has edited the weather into the evening’s script.
