Attention, digital natives and analog refugees! The Gatekeepers are back with a sonic sledgehammer to your rose-tinted VR glasses. "Nostalgia for The Great American Monoculture" isn't just an album; it's a funhouse mirror reflecting our device-addicted, content-gorged society!

Remember when The Gatekeepers's first album made you question your artistic integrity? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because they're about to make you question why you ever thought binge-watching was a personality trait. This 11-track odyssey is like freebasing the entire internet, but with better music and fewer cat videos.

From problems with strongmen to phishing scams, from identity theft to content overload, this album tackles our digital dilemmas with the subtlety of a pop-up ad and the depth of a philosophical Reddit thread. It's occasionally hypnotic (like that 3 AM doomscrolling session), sometimes turbulent (like your connection during a crucial Zoom call), and always captivating (like that one friend's Instagram story you can't stop watching).

But wait, there's more! This album is more star-studded than your average TikTok collab house. We've got The Residents bringing their eyeball-masked weirdness, Shawn Phillips adding some analog soul to our digital woes, R. Stevie Moore proving that DIY is now HD, and Dave Newhouse of The Muffins showing that prog rock and Wi-Fi issues go hand in hand. Plus, a whole gaggle of other musical mavericks who've returned for this digital detox party!

Don't just listen to this album - let it update your musical operating system. Just be aware: side effects may include spontaneously unplugging yourself from your devices despite an irresistible urge to compose emails in iambic pentameter.

P.S. No algorithms were harmed in the making of this album, but several may have been gently mocked. Press play to accept the terms and conditions of the most entertaining digital detox you'll ever experience!
