With three years since his debut album – having been delayed by a troubled personal life – and playing only a few sporadic live dates this year, Gabriel Bruce’s return is one of both triumph and torment. His compelling sophomore Come All Sufferers, released this year in May, received affectionate praise from long awaiting fans but fell short in pushing his profound voice out to the masses.

I was lucky enough to talk to him before his last date of the recent tour – a dazzling gig at Moth Club (the perfect ethereal, otherworldly venue for such a performance), and traversed the inner workings of the tortured mind of Gabriel Bruce.

Tell me honestly, how have things been going in the last few months in your world?

“Well it’s been a strange year – we were very lucky to do some dates supporting Florence + the Machine which took us all around Europe, and then did only a few small shows otherwise, and now this tour, which has been… an interesting experience. I’m just a bit tired and, well, disappointed – as I always am at the end of an album campaign. You take a long time to create this piece of work and then when it’s all over, you’ve got to deal with the reality of the situation and you can’t indulge your delusions of grandeur that you’ve built up in the lead up to its release. There’s always that slight feeling of being exposed once the bubble that’s been protecting you has burst. ”
