"Nostalgia for The Great American Monoculture" is The Gatekeepers' bold musical critique of our digital-first society. This 11-song cycle navigates problems with strongmen, phishing scams, identity theft, and content overload with the wit of a viral meme and the depth of a philosophical treatise. Featuring an all-star lineup including The Residents, Shawn Phillips, R. Stevie Moore, Dave Newhouse (The Muffins), and many more, the album seamlessly blends prog rock complexity with pop culture savvy. Each track offers a unique perspective on our device-addicted world, ranging from satirical to introspective. Whether you're a long-time fan or a digital native seeking a soundtrack for your existential crisis, this album promises a captivating journey through the funhouse mirror of modern life. "Nostalgia for The Great American Monoculture" isn't just an album-it's a musical update for your cultural operating system, challenging listeners to rethink their relationship with the digital age.
