Gustaffson released their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Black & White Movie’ in March 2025, recorded with elbow's Craig Potter at Blueprint Studios in Manchester.
With an emphasis on timeless storytelling and striking arrangements, it was a Rolling Stone album of the week and received rave reviews from Jo Whiley, Chris Hawkins, Guy Garvey & Gaby Roslin.
Formed around the songwriting talents of childhood friends Andrew Gower and James Webster, Gustaffson played a series of sold out shows Liverpool, Manchester and London in support of the album. This summer, they're back in Blueprint Studios to record new music and will return to the stage for two celebratory shows to close out the year.
