Discography
American Quartet (2022)
“For the four of us, playing the string quartet as we would play a rock song did not deface the piece, but revealed it to be something bigger than the stifling box into which it normally gets put. As we struggled to wrap our heads and bodies around it, the piece kept yielding new surprises and ever more complicated feelings. My bandmates surprised me not by straying from the piece but by plumbing its depths." - Greg Saunier
Universalists (2018)
"9 / 10. A thrillingly chaotic sonic voyage" - Uncut
#6 The Guardian Best Contemporary Albums, 2018
"A visionary new album for rock music offering a bold new idea: treat your own band noise like other people's samples" - PopMatters
"An ambitious, sprawling record, a catalog of fever dreams. The dedication to a global perspective here is undeniable, daunting, and hard to quantify. Gat reportedly sorted through more than 100 hours of recordings of his own band to cull this record. There’s almost a time-travel quality to this music that makes it so simultaneously effective and elusive. Gat manages to capture the ecstasy of his live performance, while expanding his production and experimental practice to a global, and—dare I say—universal palette." - SPIN

Director (2015)
Physical Copy EP (2015)
"To listen to Director is to feel yourself barreling forward; riffs don't so much unfurl as fly by and songs seem to vanish almost as soon as they appear. The feel of driving past a bustling street scene with the windows down. This is a world party, respectful of tradition but unafraid to throw everything in a blender and gulp. A frequently dazzling display of the trio's impressively far-flung influences.” - Pitchfork
“A mind-blowingly prolific journey crossing vibes of DIY dives and avant-garde jazz spaces.” - Vice
