The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Container: Remover
I like to go running at sunset in LA. The only two things I need to make that happen are calories and Container’s noisy techno.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Morly: You Came to Dis Sky
The space Morly creates is eerie and blissful. It’s a good soundtrack for ballroom dancing with Edward Scissorhands.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Billy Joel: Tell Her About It
I’m a pretty diehard Billy Joel fan, which my parents raised me to believe was normal but friends have since told me is unfortunate. But if this song is bad, I want to be evil.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Suicide: Cheree
I come from a big Irish-American family so I could honestly play anything at a wedding – nobody walks straight after 5pm.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Lisa Hannigan: Fall
Hannigan’s voice is the wee warm butter melting on my morning scone. I admit I love her a little bit more than everyone else because she’s an impeccable Irish lass and tribal instincts die hard.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
Susanne Sundfør: Accelerate
This woman could pour salad dressing all over my computer, set my house on fire and steal my boyfriend, and I would still buy every record she ever made.
The ideal festival track
Mmoths: Yago
Welcome to my introverts-only campfire festival. Please feel free to shed tears here.
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Colin Stetson And Sarah Neufeld: The Sun Roars Into View
A tornado of below-the-waist timbres. Stetson and Neufeld make biscuits out of my heart.
The track I’d play at my funeral
David Thomas Broughton: Ever Rotating Sky
Mortality is all pulsing and begging. I’d love to have this masterpiece guide me down the river of death.
Katie Gately’s debut LP Color is released via Tri Angle on 14 Oct
