Experimental musician and producer Katie Gately (@katiegately) returns with a fresh collage of captured sounds, announcing details of her new album 'Fawn / Brute' out on March 31st. Along with this announcement Katie has shared the album’s two title tracks, a double single of the album’s title tracks, “Fawn” and “Brute”.
 
The new album is 11 songs of innocence and experience exploring the light and dark of childhood energy following the birth of her first daughter. It is an album of two halves, that moves from the effervescence of early years to the defiance and turbulence of teenage angst.
 
The album is dedicated to Gately’s young daughter Quinn, born in 2021 and single "Fawn", taken from the first half of the album, is a love letter to her. Meanwhile accompanying single "Brute" embodies the darker second half of the record, its massive basslines constructed from the manipulated rattling of cardboard shoeboxes.

In typical maverick style, Gately plundered cartoon sound libraries magpie-like to build signature nests of sounds, integrating her own idiosyncratic sound recording strategies and sampling techniques, from shoeboxes to theremin and with a boisterous recurring saxophone.
 
------------------

The album is her second for us here at Houndstooth, following critically acclaimed 2020's ‘Loom’, made in the wake of her mother's death. But where that album explored grief and long goodbyes, this album is one of play, embracing unstable mood shifts from joy to fury, embracing the energies of childhood and intensity of new life. Previous to ‘Loom’ and ‘Color’, Katie also released 12”s and a cassette on a number of notable underground labels – Public Information and Blue Tapes, as well as the critically acclaimed FatCat Split Series. Katie is also a producer, who worked on Serpentwithfeet’s Soil (2018), and she has produced and remixed for both Björk and Zola Jesus, with Björk saying in an interview that she was struck by how Gately’s productions seemed to be “from a microphone point of view”. She was also part of Mary Anne Hobbs' curated ‘Queens of the Underground’ Festival in Manchester (2019) alongside Houndstooth musician Aisha Devi and is currently living in Pasadena and teaching at Calarts and USC’s School of Cinematic Arts.

LYRICS:

I’m gonna rub the salt into a wound today
Rip it apart, the heart was meant to play
I’m gonna rub the salt into a wound today
Something about the halt of a holy freight
  
Dream through a wall again
Dream through it all
Scream through the parlor’s den
Scream through the wall
 
No one’s gonna find my heart this way
No one’s gonna break my heart
 
Speak up when you’re feeling bad,
Your heart’s in a hovel, heaving up a cloud
Speak up when you’re feeling bad, 
Your heart’s in a pickle, prickled by a prowl
 
I sold my soul to you, my soul to you
I sold my soul to you, my soul to you
I soiled my soul for you, my soul for you
I soiled my soul for you, my soul for you
 
Holler and holler and holler we’re had
Bit by a substance that drove us quite mad
Farther and farther and farther we fled
Flung from the wings of a wicked white bread
 
Rip it up, kick it up give us the score 
Can’t trust a carrot to lead you to shore 
Ripples of pitbulls will bat on your door
Can’t trust a pusher to a portion your pour
 
River, river solid as soil
Halted, shouted, bolted and broiled
River, river solid but soiled
Hindered, spattered, unspoken and spoiled 
  
Out of sound, a silence swells
Howls a hound of haunting bells
Ribbons roped their bones to wells
Held a cell for the spottiest spells
 
Sun, sun where does she roam?
Shifting and sifting about like a gnome
River, river she wanted a home 
Held her own hand to not feel so alone

LYRICS:

We prepared a beast and it’s all a daze
We prepared a beast and it’s all a haze

We pretended, it was all right (All haze, always)
We pretended, it was all good (All haze, all of our days
We pretended a splinter was a threat
We pretended, all was splendid
 
We pretended it was all right
We pretended our tenor wasn’t red
We pretended it was all good
We pretended, all was splendid
 
We prepared a beast and it’s all a haze
We prepared a beast and it’s all a haze
We prepared a beast and she’s all but a maze
We prepared a beast and she’s stuck with us always 

I rubbed my eyes and I scratched my head and laughed aloud because I wasn’t dead!
I hushed my prize and I snatched her up a shred of calf cow silky braided bread! 
I rushed her side and attached a lock of roses across her shirt and shoulders! 
I gushed, her size, how I hatched a complicated graph of gorgeous features!
 
Fate how it pawed and clawed to make a ditch a dent in the mud 
Fate how it huffed and puffed to take a scent of the road that was cuffed
Fate how it pawed and clawed to bait the fright of a fall through a fog
Fate how it roughed and toughed to take a bite of the bone that was caught 
 
Cheeks that break the law 
Cheeks that break the law 

I’m gonna pretend
I am what I intend
