South African rock trio Gage releases long awaited new album World Below You
Gage hails from the historic and dusty diamond mining town of Kimberley, South Africa. Founded by frontman, drummer, singer and songwriter, Jason Horseman in 2007, the band has performed at several local and international festivals to growing numbers of fans.
Five years in the making, World Below You was recorded at B-Sharp Studios and mixed by Theo Crous (Springbok Nude Girls) at his Bellville Studios. The album covers themes of loss, the turmoil of the global pandemic and traversing tragedy to rise again from the depths. Jason Horseman personally lost his Father in 2019 and in 2022 also lost his fiancé who tragically succumbed to Covid-19 leaving Jason and his 8-year-old son behind. ‘World Below You’ is an album of classic, powerful, and relatable rock songs that formed part of Jason’s catharsis and reset.
Jason Horseman comments, “It’s been seven years since the release of the last Ep so we are so excited to finally be releasing our brand new 10 track album”
The album was mixed in 2022 by Theo Crous who also co-wrote the song ‘Baby B”, as well as contributing to string arrangements and bass and guitar layers to several of the songs. The album also features appearances from several seasoned South African musicians such as guitarist Mark Buchanan (ex Max Normal, Just Jinger), Theo Janse van Rensburg (arrangements, bass, and guitar). Jasper ‘Jazz’ Janse van Rensburg (bass), and Llewellyn Friend (guitar.)
