Today, Nu Emocore outfit GILT release their new album I Saw Myself In The Black Screen out through Smartpunk Records. The record is the soundtrack to a mental breakdown woven through escapism and trying to live in different fantasies to avoid the crushing weight of real life. Sonically, the album puts alt-rock nostalgia from Limp Bizkit to Refused to Deftones to Alexisonfire into a blender, with titular and lyrical references to anime, film, television, video games, and psychedelic novels. GILT plays with the “Nu Emocore” branding, flipping like channels between anthemic choruses, hooky riffs, grating screams, dj scratching, and walls of sound. With neither vocalist dedicated as the “harsh” or “clean” singer the lyrics and mood of each track vacillates from self-righteous pride to revenge fantasies to suicidal ideation, every flavor of response to trauma.
