Throughout their eight-year career thus far, Lisbon act Gala Drop have undergone numerous changes in both style and personnel which has been reflected in the shifting emphasis of their output. These releases – two EPs and a single album in six years – have featured a myriad of influences. Humid tropical rhythms, krautrock, experimental disco, Balearica, dub reggae, punk funk, drone and ‘60s West Coast psychedelia all play their part to varying degrees in the dense, loose and trippy sound Gala Drop have cultivated.
Last seen lighting up the Golf Channel imprint with their own unique brand of kaleidoscopic sonics on Overcoat Heat, Portuguese group Gala Drop return with the news they are preparing to release a collaborative 12″ with Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance fame on their own Gala Drop Records imprint.
