2) Gates - Here and Now

 

 

 New material from New Brunswick (Canada) post-rock / shoegaze band

Here and Now, the upcoming, long-awaited EP from Gates, is the New Jersey band’s first release in five years. The EP’s six tracks chronicle a period of tumultuous darkness and graceful rebirth, a process that culminates in the EP’s titular sentiment: a commitment to the here and now, rather than an endless looking backward, an eternal mourning of the past and what isn’t anymore. 

Out on Wax Bodega -- October 29th, 2021.
