Gatekeepers - Nostalgia For The Great American Monoculture CD
SKU
28-TKLK1180.2
“Remember when The Gatekeepers's first album made you question your artistic integrity? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because they're about to make you question why you ever thought binge-watching was a personality trait. This 11-track odyssey is like freebasing the entire internet, but with better music and fewer cat videos.
From problems with strongmen to phishing scams, from identity theft to content overload, this album tackles our digital dilemmas with the subtlety of a pop-up ad and the depth of a philosophical Reddit thread. It's occasionally hypnotic (like that 3 AM doomscrolling session), sometimes turbulent (like your connection during a crucial Zoom call), and always captivating (like that one friend's Instagram story you can't stop watching).
But wait, there's more! This album is more star-studded than your average TikTok collab house. We've got The Residents bringing their eyeball-masked weirdness, Shawn Phillips adding some analog soul to our digital woes, R. Stevie Moore proving that DIY is now HD, and Dave Newhouse of The Muffins showing that prog rock and Wi-Fi issues go hand in hand. Plus, a whole gaggle of other musical mavericks who've returned for this digital detox party!”
