Lovesick is what pop promised to be, in the ’80s or’90s, whenever we were young, Velvet Underground, Echo & the Bunnymen, when our identity was externalized in our music, not in our selves. Rollicking. Romantic. Eerie.” - Lisa Crystal Carver

BIO

Lovesick

...Hoping this is the End....

Goolkasian, also known as The Texas Governor, of the notorious and cutting edge trio, The Elevator Drops, is back with new music. Lovesick, a creative collaboration with painter and chanteuse Heather Joy Morgan

An overdose of inventive love songs exploring the splendor & madness of love. A creative Rock & Roll experiment. A light & dark electro-cabaret. Lovesick’s debut release, “...hoping this is the end...”, was written and recorded in the anxiety of pandemic isolation and yet it feels free-spirited and fun.

BLUE SKIES ON MARS - “As I look in your eyes & I hope for a Hollywood ending - Blue skies on Mars
& I’m hoping this is the end”. A quixotic Sci-Fi sing-along? A hopeful surge of passionate feelings in a doom laden time here on planet earth.

HOLIDAY - features some beautiful upright bass played by the legendary Tony Garnier, whose bass is a staple on both Tom Waits & Bob Dylan’s recordings). The record was produced by Ross Cisneros, who has helped craft strings & sounds for BMG’s publishing catalog, (working with artists as vast as Lana Del-Rey, Serge Gainsbourg & Bruce Springstein) at Studio Geist.

WE’VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD - features a singing Italian Greyhound Puppy named Cozimo.

LIVE BAND

...

Goolkasian & Morgan conjure melodies of longing and the vagaries of fate, over a wash of distorted guitars from Adam Wade (Funeral Party, The Grey Davies, The Uprisers) and the thundering rhythms of Palana Belken (Palana Vs The Man)
