The Gatekeepers Unlock Musical Mayhem with "The Patron" Video Featuring The Residents
Hold onto your headphones, folks! The avant-garde music scene is about to get a lot more... avant-garde-ier. The Gatekeepers are throwing open the doors to their wild musical world with the premiere of their lyric video for "The Patron," featuring none other than the masters of musical mystery themselves, The Residents.
What's All the Fuss About?
"The Patron" isn't just any old single - it's a sonic key unlocking Alex Wroten's mind-bending avant-opera album, "The Gatekeepers." Picture this: a narrative concept album that dives headfirst into the swirling vortex of the creative process. It's like peeking behind the curtain of an artist's brain, but with a killer soundtrack.
A Musical Avengers Assemble
Wroten didn't just hole up in a studio to create this album. Oh no, he assembled a creative supergroup that would make Nick Fury jealous. We're talking 35 experimental musicians and bands coming together like a musical Voltron. The result? An album that's part Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway," part Kurt Weill fever dream, and a dash of Frank Zappa's left-field genius.
Breaking Down the Gates
But what's with all this talk about gatekeepers? In the world of "The Gatekeepers," these aren't your friendly neighborhood security guards. They represent the obstacles that try to trip up creative folks on their artistic journey. It's like if writer's block formed a band and decided to play nothing but discordant jazz.
A Genre-Defying Journey
Trying to pin down the sound of "The Gatekeepers" is like trying to nail jelly to a wall - messy and probably futile. But if we had to try, imagine progressive rock doing the tango with jazz, while folk music cheers from the sidelines. It's a musical journey that thumbs its nose at convention and high-fives artistic freedom.
See It to Believe It
Ready to have your eyeballs match the journey your ears are about to take? The lyric video for "The Patron" is premiering on AntiMusic, and it's a visual feast that perfectly complements this auditory adventure.

Buckle up, open your mind, and let The Gatekeepers usher you into a brave new world of sound!
