Mothers of Gut

Los Angeles-based band Mothers of Gut offer a sprawling, cerebral blend of psychedelia and Krautrock-influenced experimental rock. The group, led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Freeman, formed in 2007 and employed a rotating lineup of musicians before solidifying in 2010 with guitarist William Davies (Duhkha), keyboardist/effects manipulator Kristina Collantes, bassist Ryan Bergman (Duhkha), and drummer Dave Gasper (Narwhal Party). Inanimate Sermon, written and recorded in 2009 and released the following spring, was the band’s full-length debut. Life stepped in in 2010 as Freeman’s father succumbed to cancer, and the raw emotion it evoked in him helped inspire Mothers' sophomore effort, Unking, which arrived on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Family+Time%22">Family Time</a> in spring 2011. ~ Chrysta Cherrie, Rovi
