Among the under-sung musical migrants who’ve settled in the United States is avant-garde guitarist, composer, and band leader Yonatan Gat (formerly of Israeli garage rock band Monotonix). He experiments with the sounds of psychedelic rock, punk, free jazz, and world music of the likes you’ve probably never heard, against which he pits some truly heady, whimsical, gorgeous, or straight-up complex and compelling ax work. He’s collaborated with Brian Chase (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Thor Harris (Swans), Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) and, most recently, the Eastern Medicine Singers. With Gat, the Rhode Island–based band of Native American drummers, singers, and dancers create a sound that is somehow both ethereal and earthy. by Leilani Polk
