Universalists (album)

Universalists is the second full-length studio album by Yonatan Gat released in 2018 on Joyful Noise Recordings.

Other personnel involved with the album's production included Kevin McMahon, Calvin Johnson (Beat Happening), Thor Harris (Swans) and many others.

[3] The album is noted for its advanced editing techniques and global musical perspective, with Spin describing it as: "an ambitious, sprawling record, a catalog of fever dreams, where styles and sounds dovetail in transparent sheafs of blotter paper...."[3] The album takes its cues from the editing techniques of Teo Macero (Miles Davis' producer).

Kanye West's style of editing and sampling on Yeezus and the Life of Pablo were also particularly influential to Gat's approach on Universalists.

The music video for "Medicine" was inspired by the visual style of Jean Rouche, a French Documentary Film-Maker.
