Recorded in Los Angeles at the legendary Capitol Studios, Holy Smoke features the instrumentational stylings of The Cardinals (as in Ryan Adams and�). Additionally, The Cardinals � Neal Casal, Jon Graboff and Brad Pemberton � are Gin's touring band on her current Australian tour.
On working with the famed band, Gin says, "I have wished on the brightest star every night since leaving L.A. that I would be able to work my magic in getting The Cardinals boys to come to my part of the world to play a few killer shows. And it has actually worked! They are coming! I'm that ridiculously excited I can't even sit still anymore."
Already an accomplished songwriter, Gin won the U.S.-based International Songwriting Contest at 16 years old, making her the competition's youngest winner in the history of the competition. Three years later, she released her critically acclaimed debut EP in her native New Zealand and was signed to Universal Motown Records in August 2008. The first single off Holy Smoke, "Too Late For Lovers," is a gospel-tinged rocker sure to catch the attention of anyone listening.
