Hundredth Time (IPU128)
Gigi is a recording project of Vancouver-based songwriter
Nick Krgovich (No Kids) and producer Colin Stewart. The
debut album, Maintenant released by Tomlab in early 2010,
gave them the opportunity to unabashedly profess their
love of 60s pop music. “The Hundredth Time” and “Some
Second Best” aren't content to be throwback pastiches or
retro workouts in the vein of Phil Spector. They succeed as
opulent orchestrations working within a specific and rich
tradition of pop music production. The two songs featured
on this single for K are selections from the original recording
session in March 2006. Ryan Peters and Duffy Driediger from
Ladyhawk guest on “The Hundredth Time.”
“The charming boys-do-cry serenade ‘The Hundredth
Time’… sounds right in the here and now-- because for all
their vintage dressing, Gigi are ultimately most interested in
the bad romance that makes our present so tense.”
