Alexander Gow, the Melbournian man behind the ARIA Award winning Oh Mercy has established the name as an iconic Australian act. Gow is a willing accomplice to a lyrical curiosity which sees him combine his love for the existential and absurd with a breadth of literary influences along with a perpetual air of romance. His adoration of pop hooks stems from a teenage love of Bacharach and those melodic sensibilities endure. In 2020, Gow evolved into Perfect Moment. This project was conjured up by Gow in a Princes Hill terrace. A late-night, headphone affair. It then made it’s way into the capable hands of Kim Moyes (The Presets). Moyes collaborated with Gow on the project and helped make Perfect Moment the unique individual it now is.
