Katie Gately 'Tuck' (Tri Angle Records)
Los Angeles-based sound designer Katie Gately has a knack for cobbling cacophonous sounds together. Though she’s released previously on Blue Tapes and Public Information, new LP ‘Color’ finds Gately working with her own field recordings in a slightly different context. The entire record is a swirling behemoth of dissonant pop, but ‘Tuck’ is a standout: layers of percussion, horns and Gately’s own vocals orient themselves around a reverberated house beat, as witchy burlesque vibes abound.
