Gatecreeper

An Unexpected Reality

In a world of announcements of announcements, Gatecreeper are firing no warning shots before dropping their new release.

“I think the social media environment has just fried our attention spans,” vocalist Chase Mason says. “Trying to hold someone’s attention for two or three months with a typical album roll-out doesn’t seem feasible with everything else currently going on in the world.”

That’s not the only reason ​An Unexpected Reality​ comes with no pre-release hype whatsoever. “It’s meant to be listened to as a whole, so we didn’t wanna break it up or release a couple songs ahead of time as ‘singles’ or whatever,” Mason clarifies. “We also didn’t wanna treat it like it’s our next full-length. Because it’s not.”

Written, recorded and now released during the Covid-19 pandemic, ​An Unexpected Reality​ is Gatecreeper like you’ve never heard them before. Exploring both ends of the tempo spectrum, the release offers two opposing sides of the band’s musical personality.
