Copg wh the prent-day bombardment of data and recycled iologi om sourc sentially fed by the creed ‘Dtroy Them. Own the Earth,’ often leav me wh only one thg to look forward to: Rhythm.” This latt project is the follow up to Gay’s 2018 crilly-acclaimed, but album Downtown Castl Can Never Block the Sun, which was a pilatn of prevly-unreleased material posed and produced by Gay over seven years.
