“A shoegaze/dream pop cascade full of emotive melodies and psychedelic production.”
Reverb-drenched and relentless: The City Gates blend post-punk urgency with shoegaze atmospherics on Chimera, brooding rhythms meeting shimmering walls of sound in a nocturnal landscape of isolation and memory distortion. Danila Kozyrev unleashes a jangly cacophonous mess bustling with melody and psychedelic production on wraith, while j.demar fuses dream pop haze, post-punk energy, and breakbeat velocity into soaring crescendos on artifacts. SMIC strips things back with a slow, atmospheric meditation on survival and clarity, and Yama Uba floats haunting vocals over dreamy ambience in the liminal space between hymns and mantras.
