Description
IL GATO is an indie-baroque-folk band from San Francisco, California. Their most recent independent release, “All these Slippery Things” (July 2010), is the band’s first studio album and second full-length release. It was recorded and mixed at the renowned Tiny Telephone (with overdubs recorded at home), engineered by Ian Pelicci (Deerhoof, Rogue Wave, Hauschka, etc.) and mastered by Roger Seibel at SAE Mastering (Broken Social Scene, Death Cab for Cutie, Bon Iver, The Dodos, Cat Power, The Decemberists, Modest Mouse, etc.).The core ensemble of musicians consists of guitarist/harmonica/vocalist Daimian Holiday Scott, upright bassist/vocalist Andrew Thomas and drummer/vocalist Johnny Major. With a pop sensibility, their sound incorporates folk with a reggae down beat, harmonious rap, lavish modern-classical instrumentation, and emotionally charged vocals with a floating delivery. Common associations include Modest Mouse and Neutral Milk Hotel.
“All these Slippery Things” is a grand departure from IL GATO’s first release, “conversationmusic” (2007), a solo singer/songwriter recording by Gainesville, Florida native and former architect Daimian Holiday Scott. With the help of some of the Bay Area’s finest indie musicians, “All these Slippery Things” is embellished by full horn and string sections, piano, upright bass, drums, banjo, accordion, harmonica and melodica, hence putting the “baroque” in indie-folk.
