In a story about two sons of classical musicians making compelling, genre-bending music that draws on but rethinks their classical upbringing, Greg Sandow of the Wall Street Journal talks about our very own Gabriel Kahane and the exciting music he’s making. In the words of Mr. Sandow: “Something really good is starting to happen here, and it’s well worth checking out.” Read the full review and feature here!

Other recent press:
Gabriel Kahane is an NPR programmer’s wet dream… From a sonic standpoint, Kahane’s restlessness and ingenuity match the precociousness of his words, the album often abandoning pop’s expected patterns of build and release with a less-predictable approach that comes closer to musical theater. – Pitchfork

There is nobody else within the pop-music sphere making music even remotely as sophisticate as what you’ll hear on Gabriel Kahane. This music for the ears, the intellect and the soul, and an auspicious debut LP from one of the most prodigious talents we’ve got. – Prefix Magazine

The instrumental parts, at times, might be purely classical compositions all by themselves, thoughtful, and above all wrought — carefully balanced, with contrasting melodies coexisting with each other, along with complex rhythms, and little strains of music that register like sharp, sure thoughts, or like imagines in a carefully crafted short story. – The Wall Street Journal

(Pick of the week) It’s no surprise that Gabriel Kahane has worked with Sufjan Stevens; they share a proclivity for intricate, beautiful pop fashioned from myriad instruments, with a nice line in softly delivered vocals. Kahane is a 27-year-old Brooklyn musician whose work flits between classical composition and artful pop. In September, his self-titled debut album of immaculate pop tunes was released. – The (London) Independent
