His debut, Downtown Castles Can Never Block the Sun , was a compilation drawn from seven unreleased albums recorded over the previous seven years. Yowzers is a tighter, more intimate affair, an invitation into the inner circle. Its core is a set of quartet compositions for his touring band: percussionist Tommaso Moretti, guitarist Will Faber, and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Davis.

Rhythm, it turns out, is also a potent tool for opening up what could be a borderline fearsome work of experimental music to the popular ear. But in its conglomerate totality, the album is too multifarious to bear more than a passing resemblance to any of the above. For all this, Open Arms is very much a collective work.

Gay's de facto debut album—the compilation 'Downtown Castles Can Never Block The Sun'—properly introduced him to the world by placing fifteen stylistically diverse tracks from seven then-unreleased albums next to one another. A uniting factor in Gay's deep, multi-faceted discography is a never-ending commitment to taking the stories of the past and pushing them outward, filtered through a sense of self, to keep that information moving. There are overlapping rhythms all around us, and so it reminds you of the reality of the world when you hear them.
