Gates – The Sun Will Rise and Lead Me Home

Bobby Gorman — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 19:30:08 +0000

Out of all the releases Death To False Hope Records has ever put out, Gates features the most laid back artwork. A grainy brown backdrop with hand drawn outlines of trees adore the front cover with the simple lettering of “gates” floating harmlessly overtop.

Somehow, all of that just makes sense when you sit down and listen to Gates. Slow, reserved and almost quiet – Gates are not your typical Death To False Hope band. This is soft, growing and controlled – better suited for a label like Deep Elm Records as it ebbs and flows with restrained emotion.

Chicago’s SUNS love orchestrating sounds like a rich layered tapestry. Between their double debut EPs, the band really demonstrates a maturity of sound quite early in their young career. Each EP is well worth your time.

In case somehow you missed it on Valentine’s Day, Angels & Airwaves – Tom DeLonge’s side project – posted their third full length album, Love, for download in its entirety on their website. The ambitious project was entirely self-financed by DeLonge and is being released to drum up some excitement for their upcoming North American tour; and while it is being released completely for free, anyone who chooses to donate money will receive a remix of the lead single, Hallucinations, by Mark Hoppus.
