At The Gates

VINYL FORMAT. "A little over a year ago, Milwaukee garage-pop band The Midwest Beat rented out the historic Gates Of Heaven synagogue in James Madison Park for three frigid days of on-location recording. Because of the space's natural reverb and the recording techniques of the record's producer, analog tape purist Kyle Motor, a live feel was guaranteed, and overdubbing later was nearly impossible. The result finds the band effortlessly experimenting with genres, all while keeping the band's signature soaring harmonies and total devotion to the pop-song arrangement." -- The Onion
