Katie Gately - Color
The kind of outright bangin’ attitude that Charli XCX wanted in her Vroom Vroom project»
Buy now from:
LA-based musician Katie Gately releases her debut album Color on Triangle. Emerging in 2013 with well-received releases for Blue Tapes and Public Information, Gately won fans with a unique style that came from a combination of found sounds and manipulations of her own voice. Color continues this approach with seven maximalist electronic compositions based on the idea that more is more. Meticulously composed from layers of found sounds and manipulations of her own voice, Color pulses, lurches and throbs with the excitement of a million barely-controlled ideas and the energy of a sped up cartoon. The cacophony of sounds could easily slide into chaos were it not for Gately’s uncanny knack for melody. Even at their wildest, songs like Tuck, Sire and Frisk all boast some sort of accessible emotional core - be it an earworm melody or the kind of winding, circular beat that becomes almost impossible not to hum or sing or feel.
