Gabriel Kahane & Brooklyn Rider / The Fiction Issue (2016)
2016 saw the release of The Fiction Issue, our collaboration with crackerjack singer-songwriter-composer Gabriel Kahane to universal praise among audiences and critics alike. Features the Carnegie Hall commission “The Fiction Issue” with the inimitable singer Shara Nova, “Come On All You Ghosts” (texts by Matthew Zapruder), and Bradbury Studies, a compositional unraveling of the song “Bradbury (304 Broadway)” from Kahane’s 2014 release, The Ambassador.
“Rigorously mapped melancholy. Kahane and Brooklyn Rider exemplify current musical impulses, honoring the stylistic gamut of omnivorous curiosity.” –The Boston Globe
“(Fiction Issue)...a post-Sept.11 piece of art, concerned with the ways a society carries on after collective tragedy.” –The New York Times
“The performances on the album are stunning. One of the most unique albums I’ve heard in a while.” –I Care If You Listen
