Director is Yonatan Gat's debut full-length studio-album released in 2015 on Joyful Noise Recordings.[1][2][3][4] Gal Lazer plays drums, and Sergio Sayeg is on bass. The album was recorded live by Chris Woodhouse (Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees) in less than 3 days during a US tour. According to Gat, the band went into the studio with just a few songs and ideas. Though effectively composed of "hours upon hours" of mixed-down, in-studio improvisations spliced together with field recordings that Gat had taken during his travels, the album's sound takes its inspiration from soundtrack virtuosos like Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota.[1]
Stylistically the album samples a wide-variety of global traditions "touch[ing] on everything from bossa nova to soukous, Tortoise-style jazz-rock to the head-swimming spazz-outs of Ponytail,"[2] and fuses, "the psych-jazz improv fusion of late-period Miles Davis, weirdo Middle Eastern surf-rawk and Western African complexities with raging punk rock intensity."[4]
