Announcing: Yonatan Gat "Director"
We are very happy to announce the debut full-length from master guitarist Yonatan Gat. Legendary from his days with Monotonix (Drag City), Yonatan and his band have assembled 11 new punk inspired, improvisational, psychedelic mind-melters for the album Director. Recorded live by Chris Woodhouse (Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees), and inspired by soundtrack virtuosos like Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota, Director is edited as a cinematic circular journey around the world - East to West and North to South. This journey is interconnected by field recordings that Gat has taken during his travels, giving it a feeling of space and time.
The result is a genre-bending opus that finds the band seamlessly exploring different styles of music from Brazilian psych and Afrobeat to free jazz, surf and 20th century avant-garde, sometimes in the span of just one song.
"Director" is now available on VIP-exclusive Gold inside Coke-Bottle-Green vinyl (limited to just 300 hand-numbered copies), Coke-Bottle-Green Vinyl, Black Vinyl, and digital.
Check out Yonatan Gat on tour soon (including dates with of Montreal and Deerhoof), also check out the new track "Goldrush" that just premiered on Wondering Sound.
