American experimental musician and producer Katie Gately is up to mischief on her new album Fawn / Brute- 11 songs of innocence and experience exploring the light and dark of childhood energy following the birth of her first daughter. It is an album of two halves that moves from the effervescence of early years to the defiance and turbulence of teenage angst. - - “When I got pregnant I had a lot of energy at first but later on my pregnancy was stressful and worrying so the music got darker and darker: I was making angry music while I was supposed to be feeling maternal." The album is dedicated to her young daughter Quinn born in 2021 – the track 'Fawn' is a love letter to her.
