Allison’s Gate Readies New Album

Carolina McPhail is the artists behind Allison’s Gate, and the music she’s crafting from behind the bedroom walls is striking. Our first listen to music from her forthcoming Waves/Bona Fide LP has her lurking in the shadows, calling out an unnamed “piece of shit.” You can hear the buzz of the recording crackling through your speakers, with McPhail rising up just loud enough to get her voice over that mix. It’s an intimate catharsis, exercising demons or animosity, but presented in this manner definitely allows for some fly on the wall vibes as you listen through. Her new LP will be released on May 25th via Memorials of Distinction.
