The Gravity Drive
The Gravity Drive is from Bridport, England. The band members are: Elijah Wolf - songwriter, vocals, guitar and piano and Ava Wolf - vocals, programming and arrangements. Success hasn't come quickly for the pair. It's taken years of dedication. From the beginning, they've supported their own recording efforts. Then they discovered a secret weapon. Pete Schwier, who lives at Hooke, has engineered, mixed or produced albums for some of the biggest names in the music industry. He started with Kim Wilde's Kids In America, did two albums for The Jam, six albums for the Pet Shop Boys, two for Duran Duran, worked with Frankie Goes To Hollywood; the list goes on and on. Living in southwest England has its advantages because there are so many venues to play to sharpen your craft. The natural beauty of the countryside is energizing.
The Wolfs live a simple lifestyle with their daughter in a small brick cottage near Netherbury. The house perches on a hillside and the garden tumbles down to a raggedy wood and stream. The pervasive spirit of the place is one of the inspirations for this album.
The Gravity Drive Unplugged features 4 songs. One of those songs may not be included within their new upcoming album. They are currently creating their second album called 'The Wildlight', songs which have already been played on daytime Radio 2 and BB6 Music. Ava and Elijah armed with Elijah's trusty Yairi acoustic and a splash of electric guitar display an intimate setting sharing a microphone and performing 3 of the tracks.
