Gate to Otherside “Northern Memories (无)”

Introducing: Gate to Otherside, the latest trio of skinny rock’n’rollers to come crawling from the depths of Beijing’s yaogun underground. Fans of older C-indie torchbearers like Carsick Cars and The Gar will find a lot to like here, as will anyone who’s dug on Gate label-mates Chui Wan and Birdstriking — there’s a fair amount of member overlap and style-bleed among all of the above. Gate to Otherside has been gigging around the city’s numerous dives since late 2014 and is now preparing to put forward its debut album, Dragon Bus Terminal, as the latest strain of a particular “Beijing sound” that’s been developing over the last decade or so: one part jangling proto-punk, one part robotic Mancunian rhythmic propulsion, one part noise guitar freakout, and several parts burnout come-down.
