If life is a collection of moments, it needs a soundtrack that's as fluid and dynamic as the experiences it encompasses, and with their first full-length, "Bloom & Breathe," Gates fit that role. Co-produced by Mike Watts (As Tall As Lions, As Cities Burn) and the band's own Kevin Dye, this album is a sonic passport that takes the listener on an emotional journey that's difficult to articulate via words. They've showcased their intense live show touring with bands like The Gaslight Anthem, Pentimento and Have Mercy. Vinyl version includes download card.
