The
Gate “Vomit Dreams” LP
New
York Experimental Jazz/Doom weirdo’s, The Gate, blend together an eccentric mix
of improvised free jazz along with hints of doom madness. I actually picked this up from the band’s
bassist, Tom Blancarte, at a local show he was playing with his other group, The Home of Easy Credit. The band portrays a dark vibe, followed by free-for-all moments where
the three players go off. Something
intriguing to me is how they still manage to keep it together and sound amazing.
The band has a very primitive feel to it as well. Some moments on the record I
could imagine myself in a jungle setting with natives going crazy over a fire
while a tuba player, bassist and drummer are going off. I’m not too sure how
well known these guys are, but if you haven’t heard them I definitely recommend
giving them a listen!!
