This Friday, Gizmo will release their debut full-length, All Your Worships, out via Victory Pool Records. The album comes roaring out of the gate, picking up right where 2023’s livewire Buddy System EP left off without skipping a beat. The new material finds the band mining similar sources but reaching new heights, imbuing their carefully considered, structurally ambitious power-pop songwriting with more unexpected twists and turns.
“The songs on All Your Worships were brought to life between 2022 and 2025,” explains frontman Julien Kitson. “The thematic inspiration of the album stems from various things. Lyrically, ‘stream of consciousness’ writing has always been a style of ours, although some of the album’s songs have more of a direct approach. Late-night TV, playing tourist, and abandoned establishments are just a few of the lyrical inspirations, as well as translating rather dismal periods of our lives into song.
“Aside from our previous release, this album was very much a collective project. During the years of us putting this material together, each band member would bring ideas to our old basement rehearsal space, which was utilized in 2023-2024 and covered in spray paint from its previous owners. This basement was an integral part of the album process and is where most of the songs were fleshed out. Come February 2025, we relocated our basement rehearsal space to a hall in Great Village, Nova Scotia, to record these songs with Alex Edkins and Loel Campbell in a span of 8 days. These recording sessions, which were captured by photographer Justin Rix, formed a special bond between everyone involved.”
To help celebrate the album’s release, Gizmo is sharing the new video for “Walking The Floor”, the second to last song written for the album. “This song was a combination of attempting to translate life events into song as well as tipping my hat to country and western music,” continues Kitson. “The song title/closing lyric of the song is a nod to/play-off of ‘Walking the Floor Over You’ by Ernest Tubb. The term ‘walking the floor’ was heavily used in country music of the 1930’s and 40’s as a metaphor of heartbreak and restlessness. ‘Walking The Floor’ is a lyrical reimagining of that through a power pop-esque lens (early demos of this song were a Big Star attempt). For a while, it was pretty difficult to write about real life topics, but somehow paying homage to country and western music was my gateway to comfort in that department.”

MORE ABOUT ALL YOUR WORSHIPS
Gizmo are Charlottetown rockers inspired by the guitar-damaged pop of 1990s American slacker bands and their contemporaries on Canada’s east coast. A 120 Minutes band for the Gen Z set, they breathe new life into their vintage influences with a distinctive songwriting style and a frenetic live show.
To record their debut album, All Your Worships, the band decamped to a converted community hall in Great Village, Nova Scotia with co-producers Alex Edkins (METZ, Weird Nightmare) and Loel Campbell (Wintersleep) in tow. They pulled 12-hour days, sleeping at the studio and capping off nights with drunken music listening sessions. The group bonded over their overlapping tastes, able to share a common language when referencing sounds and direction. Edkins and Campbell mixed the record, with Greg Obis (Stuck, Clearance) providing the finishing touches at Chicago Mastering Service.

The material was hashed out at rehearsals and live shows from 2022-2025, with the band taking a more collaborative approach to composition. This is in stark contrast to Buddy System, largely written solo by frontman Julien Kitson. This time around, each member brought songwriting contributions — bassist Spencer Swaine and guitarist Patrick Stephen take up lead vocals on their tracks “Crystal Palace” and “Faulty Straight Edge Downfall”, respectively. This does not diffuse a clear sense of direction, though. The lyrics take a stream-of-consciousness, observational approach to themes of heartache and coming of age, all topped off by a whip-smart deployment of non-sequiters, inside jokes, and maritime colloquialisms.
The arrangements further compound this unified vision; crisp acoustics, warped offset riffs, melodic basslines, and the laserpoint precision of drummer Daniel Hartinger merge to create an underlying sonic palette. This cohesion is what makes the record's diversity work — standout tracks like "Antiques Roadshow”, “Celestial”, and album closer “Pantone 312” are disparate on the surface, but all unmistakably Gizmo. All Your Worships is a 10-track mission statement from the rare breed of band that arrives fully-formed, confidently settling into their first LP and suggesting a myriad of possibilities for the future.
