Yonatan Gat – “Slow American Movement – II. Lento”

Israeli guitar hero (and former Monotonix havoc-wreaker) Yonatan Gat has announced his new album American Quartet. The album finds Gat reinterpreting Antonin Dvořák’s string quartet of the same name with a psychedelic rock ensemble featuring Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier, Mdou Moctar bassist Mikey Coltun, and organist Curt Sydnor. The results are quite different than what you’d get from two violins, a viola, and a cello. Our first preview of the project is the 10-minute sprawl “Slow American Movement – II. Lento,” out today.
