Gabriel & The Hounds Sign To Communion Records & Announce Debut Album

Communion have announced the signing of Brooklyn based artist Gabriel & The Hounds.

Gabriel & The Hounds is Gabriel Levine and a broad pool of some of his friends and allies. The debut album, ‘Kiss Full of Teeth’, is released on the 5th March. A variety of performers working directly in, or with, the likes of The National, Beirut, St Vincent, Sufjan Stevens, tUnE-yArDs, Bjork and Jonsi all feature throughout the record.

To launch the album, 'The World Unfolds' - one of the stand-out tracks from the record - is available to download now for free below.

Kev Jones of Communion commented: “We absolutely love this record. The musical pedigree displayed on the album, Gabe's understated vocals, the songwriting, and the almost Hitchcock-esque orchestral arrangements make for an incredibly rich experience.” 
  
‘Kiss Full of Teeth’ was recorded in assorted garages, living rooms and studios around Brooklyn, but predominantly at The National’s garage studio in Ditmas Park. It is a record that juxtaposes the quiet intimacy of its genesis, a lo-fi field recorder, with the nuanced sounds of expensive microphones capturing the warmth of the orchestral players who expand the palette of the album.
 
Although the writing of these songs was a very solitary endeavour, the recording process became a communal affair, with Gabriel making the studio a welcoming drop-in for a broad range of talented folk, including Bryan Devendorf from The National, who plays drums throughout the album.
 
Gabriel & The Hounds will head to the UK for a series of Communion shows in March. More details to be announced shortly.
