Great gulfs of nothing ripple with waves
At the sound of your name they say; “Don’t waste any days”
Because just like people they can slip away
But even nothing has time and space, so the theory states
And my theory is:
You should take some, take some of mine
I’ve got enough I do not mind experiments of the other kind
You made new by quoting them, old things that I said to you
When I was lost for words
And then all of my dreams became loose at the seams
Because just like nothing they were not what they seem
And even nothing has time and space, so the theory states
And my theory is:
You should take some, take some of mine
I’ve got enough I do not mind experiments of the other kind

about
Taking cues from soft rock legend Ned Doheny, ‘Great Gulfs’ comes on like Bryan Ferry cruising down Ocean Drive. It’s a tale of unrequited love, explored through the metaphor that physical matter is comprised mostly of ‘great gulfs of nothing,’ a phrase which, consequently, singer Luke Novak lifted from a documentary show about physics, in keeping with the band’s love of the inspirational goldmine of our fragmented TV experience. Mixed by Jered Stuffco (Jex Opolis / Good Timin') within the song’s louche crisp sax bars and wind-swept hooks lies a deep romantic nostalgia befitting its subject matter. This poignant nostalgia is explored visually in the fantastic accompanying DIY surf/skate archive footage shot by American marine biologist Brian Tissot. For Late TV, ‘Great Gulfs’ is a shining testament to their versatility and range as both players and songwriters. From the purity of their source material to the depth of their inspiration, there is no question that Late TV are one of the most refreshingly idiosyncratic and authentic acts around.
