MG Live, I OH YOU & Frontier Touring are excited to announce US experimental musician and composer Montell Fish will make his highly anticipated return to Australia for May 2025.
The tour follows the release of 'deserve/energy' , a new single from Montell’s dj gummy bear, the shadowy, masked musical moniker he first created in 2023. Montell first introduced dj gummy bear as a liberating creative outlet to explore more abstract electronic sounds outside of his solo work as Montell Fish, with more music to come from dj gummy soon.
Montell first introduced dj gummy bear with the single '2 seater' amongst several others, which was followed by a more direct connection back to Montell with Intercessions before Charlotte, an EP released last year that placed gummy bear and Montell in direct conversation with one another. Framed as a prophet in the lore that surrounds the character, dj gummy bear engages in an internal dialogue with Montell about faith, fame, expectations, and the relationships surrounding them to contextualize the release of Montell’s sophomore album CHARLOTTE.
Montell Fish and dj gummy bear are two distinct characters, but they embody the duality in Montell’s world and the opposing forces that influenced the early parts of his career. Both represent various facets of Montell as a person, but each exists to serve its own creative endeavour. Montell Fish deals in intricate and grand alternative pop, while dj gummy bear thrives under the surface, tinkering with the ambient subtleties of his own experimental R&B.
Stay tuned for more from dj gummy bear and Montell Fish coming soon.
