Nap Eyes' metam orphic fifth long-player collects a cache of nine fascinating songs recorded over the four years sinceSnapshot of a Beginner. The Neon Gate reveals classic touchstones (the uneasy interplay of physics and philosophy,perambulatory meditations, self-interrogating soliloquies, apertures of surreality, video games), but also evidence ofdivergent impulses toward nonlinear abstraction and longform improvisational composition (resulting in their mostdiscursive, deconstructed, and deliquescent songs to date) and narrative and lyric formality (including adaptations ofthorny poems by Alexander Pushkin and W. B. Yeats), imparting the sense that Nap Eyes have transmuted, as has theirunderstanding of what a song is, what it can do, where it might go.
