Gilt’s Album Dives Into Media Escapes | Orlando News

Gilt just dropped their explosive second album, I Saw Myself in the Black Screen, a genre-bending fusion of emo screams, nu-metal grit, and post-hardcore drums that feels like Hot Topic nostalgia reimagined. Named after gold leaf flecks in old paintings—and yes, also a mom’s shopping site—their sound is hauntingly beautiful yet coldly mechanical. The album explores our obsession with media as an escape, from anime-inspired art to tracks like “Reverse Bear Trap” and the emotional core “Drywall,” which mirrors how we hide behind screens. Inspired by the film I Saw the TV Glow, the band structured the record around this theme, with “Drywall” at its heart and other songs as digital walls. Formed in 2017, they found their voice through live shows and the fearless commitment to making weird, meaningful music—even if it starts with something goofy.
