The Gnomes - More EP (2026) Hi-Res

For their new EP, Jay Millar and The Gnomes crank up the amps, giving their ’60s beat revivalism an extra kick. Opener Thinking of Me lands much closer to fellow Australian bands like Loose Lips and The Unknowns than, say, The Beatles. It is sharper, louder, and packed with the kind of energy that belongs in a sweaty club or basement.

The other three songs are a little closer to The Gnomes’ previous output, with Magic Man emerging as the latest standout. You can practically see the crowd packed around the stage, bouncing along to the band.

The added crunch and confidence on the More EP should only add fuel to the growing hype around The Gnomes. To our ears, that makes perfect sense. This is throwback rock-‘n’-roll done right.
