Born in New Zealand and now residing in New York,Sally Gates is a powerful young guitarist with a striking compositional vision. Expanding her instrumental trio into a quartet with the addition of bassist extraordinaire Trevor Dunn, Vonals takes another step forward into rhythmic and melodic complexity. Pounding grooves, hypnotic riffs, and plenty of fiery solos make this her strongest statement to date. Surrealistic science fiction meets the worlds of metal and improvisation in this searing instrumental masterpiece.

Instrumentally depicting the realms of surrealistic sci-fi, the band make use of angular and experimental passages, juxtaposed by fluid grooves and metallic flurries.
