GILT is Ash Stixx (vocals), Tyler Fieldhous (guitar, bass) and Tilley Komorny (guitar). This EP is the band’s first release since their lineup change featuring former drummer, Ash Stixx, on leading vocals. Produced by Nightlife’s Hansel Romero, The EP opens with “In Windows,” a reworked version of their song, “Ignore What’s Missing.” The opening track gives us a taste of GILT’s sonic evolution, introducing a heavier breakdown and an overall mature sound to the previous version. Stixx’s vocals bring a new perspective and unveils new emotions to the already poetic lyrics.
“‘In Windows (Ignore What’s Missing)’ is about misplaced priorities, pride, and standing in your own way,” says GILT of their new single. “The song was originally the title track of our debut album, but after bringing our former drummer Ash Stixx up front for vocals, we realized how powerful their take on it was and how much the song had changed.”
Following is the band’s newest release, “Long Time Coming”, a perfect bridge between “In Windows” and “Through Mirrors.” Stixx’s vocals in this track effortlessly translates emotions of desperation and hope. The drum and guitar build up throughout the song creates anticipation before a final wave of emotion takes over transitioning into another killer breakdown.
