A recent discovery, thanks to The Quietus’ mid-year faves list. I’ll leave it to TQ’s Tristan Bath to described the heady rush of listening to it – our you can get yer ears round it yourself on the Soundcloud thing-ette.
“Made up entirely from Gately’s own snipped, processed and layered vocal lines, it’s explosive. The opening hums quickly develop into a loudening dissonance, suddenly snapping into a series of surreal marches and chants littered with tick-tock rhythms, and saturated with a nightmarish peril. Perhaps it’s her experiences with video editing, but Pipes is the year’s best example of mind-numbing aural extrapolation, and Katie Gately’s destined for further greatness. Let’s hope she doesn’t jump on the inevitable plane to Reykjavik to start pumping out ethereal new age bullshit.”
