Vanilla Gorilla ~Exhale: A Music Review
Written by Ol Shep Dawg Hisself on March 12, 2025
They’ve been MIA for three years, but Vanilla Gorilla now a seven piece outfit are back bigger than ever with a ripper album, ‘Home’.
Their first single lifted from the album Exhale is a calypso reggae based tune that bounces along before taking a deep breath late into the tune and morphing into a frenzy of wailing blues burger from keyboardist Wylie Wilson (ironically mostly inhaling).
Settling back into the reggae groove we deviate once more for the final climactic guitar wah wah solo. The song taps into being still and in awe of nature.
The lads will be in Melbourne launching the album on Saturday the 12th April at the Brunswick Ballroom.
