GATE
Cracked and dissonant mournful looped laments plus unlikely electronic rhythms from Michael Morley of New Zealand's avant-rock masters, The Dead C. Morley has been working under the Gate guise for 20 years, but his gigs in December will be his first in the UK, coming off the back of the Dead C's appearance at the Godspeed You Black Emperor ATP shindig. Gate's latest album, A Republic of Sadness (Ba Da Bing) is Morely's first solo effort in over a decade and comprises the apex of his various interests into one collection. Morley’s guitar and vocal drones permeate through his looped beats and sounds, ultimately reaching towards a sound that is not quite dance, not quite noise, not quite electronica, and never ever ambient.
As far as we can tell, this will be one of only two UK gigs, which is pretty mega.
