Gatherer ‘So Be It’ Pre-Release

Clockwork Artists — Tue, 01 May 2012 23:30:12 +0000

Gatherer’s album ‘So Be It’ is now available to stream, download and pre-order through Red Tape Records (AUS) and Elevenfiftyseven Records (NZ).

Gatherer is a familiar feeling, delivered with unfamiliar sound. Beautifully haunting melodies, complex rhythms and a wall of sound so huge it’s hard to comprehend.

On the road, Gatherer has shared the stage with bands such as …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, The Getaway Plan, Fear Before, La Dispute and a slew of other international acts. Gatherer’s unique sound, combined with a ferocious, passionate live show, finds them not fitting in with any pre-existing crowd, but creating their own.

May 2nd marks the release of Gatherer’s debut album, So Be It. Filled with ironic optimism and tongue in cheek backlash, less sporadic but still that little bit outrageous, So Be It will introduce a whole new world of sound to deliver what will ultimately be an 12-song epic.

For the next 48 hours, So Be It is up as a special ‘pay what you want’ download. The album can also be streamed and pre-ordered from their label, Red Tape Records, at redtaperecords.bandcamp.com

The physical release on Red Tape Records will be in stores on 1st June, via Fuse Distribution, and Elevenfiftyseven Records in New Zealand.

Red Tape Records Announce First Release

Red Tape Records, a newly formed Melbourne-based label, has announced its first release. The label is the first foray into the record game for Melbourne company Clockwork Artists and will focus on a diverse range of rock releases.

Gatherer‘s new album So Be It will be the first record to receive the Red Tape stamp and is slated for May 7th.

Relocating to Australia from NZ, Gatherer haven’t wasted any time. Releasing Regular Frontier, the first single from So Be It in late 2011, the band headed out on a national tour with The Getaway Plan before returning to put the finishing touches on the album. The band have also released a video for new song ‘Sinister’, filmed at the Hi-Fi Bar.

Following Melbourne shows with sleepmakeswaves and Coerce in Feb/March, it’s back on the road with The Getaway Plan for a string of shows in QLD, NSW and VIC, kicking off on March 15th.

Gatherer will also appear at the Red Tape Records Launch Party at The Workers Club on February 11th. As well as celebrating the label, the free all-day event will also play host to Melbourne acts Damn Terran, On Sierra, High Tea, Udays Tiger, The Dooms & Coins.

Following the release of So Be It, Gatherer will be touring the album nationally in June.
