GILT showcase their sonic duality on the new double single

On June 26th, Florida Nu Emocore band GILT will release their new album, I Saw Myself In The Black Screen, through Smartpunk Records. The band’s sound hits like 00’s alt-rock nostalgia from Limp Bizkit to Deftones to Thursday merged into a blender with a Myspace-era scene kid and turned into visceral, modern output. Having already shared the crushing single and video “Seattle Day 2,” and the heavy shoegaze leaning “How Do You Kill An Angel, Barry?,” GILT deliver a whirlwind double single “Spit Out Into A Ditch…”/ “…On The Side Of The New Jersey Turnpike.”

The two songs and videos connect, leading listeners on a sonic and visual journey through GILT’s genre melding approach and vocal duality.

As vocalist and guitarist Tyler Fieldhouse shares:

“‘Spit Out Into A Ditch…’ is a no-frills screamo track that I wrote, reimagining the tragically passed Ian Curtis (Joy Division) as a spirit of vengeance, finding new purpose in taking a Killdozer approach to a world that turned his art into commodity. The title of the song comes from what happens after you finish taking control of the title character in ‘Being John Malkovich,’ a film that also explores forcing yourself on the world instead of giving up on your life, for better or worse.

‘…On The Side Of The New Jersey Turnpike’ was written by Asha and weaves a droning nu-metal 1-note-riff with classic metalcore. “Why play dead when you can play God” actualizes into a first-person power fantasy of violently dismantling power structures.”

GILT is a fever dream blending poetry and introspection with mindless violence against themselves and the world around them. With their new album I Saw Myself In The Black Screen the band delivers the most true version of their sound to date, processing media escapism through the eyes of a traumatized child struggling with a choice between self-destruction and righteous revenge. I Saw Myself In The Black Screen is the soundtrack to a mental breakdown. The tracks flip like channels between hooky riffs, grating screams, anthemic choruses, and walls of sound – polished and punishing all at once.The album was recorded by Lee Dyess at Earth Sound Studios and produced and mixed by Hansel Romero (Nightlife).

I Saw Myself In The Black Screen is available for preorder now through Smartpunk Records.

GILT is Asha Locke – vocals, Tyler Fieldhouse – vocals/rhythm guitar, Ali Reed – drums, Cameron Subic – lead guitar, and Woody – bass. Recorded bass on album by Tyler Peterson.
