Fascinating in its simplicity while constantly shifting focal points, with Nightwater/ all the dead do is dream, Gabriel Birnbaum creates worlds that are the perfect antidote for whatever the day has brought.
We talk to Gabriel Birnbaum, independent musician and champion of the independent scene. We talk about his latest album Nightwater, the challenges and rewards of recording on a 4-track, Covid-19 and its impact, American politics, refuge in music, the music industry and how it treats artists.
A soundtrack for inner landscapes, Nightwater exists in a world we never expected to enter. While we struggle with new realities Gabriel Birnbaum allows us to explore a never neverland of the everyday. What we see depends on where we look. Examine carefully.
This is more like a coming-out party for an artist no longer content to be one of many. With Not Alone, Birnbaum has exposed himself as a full-fledged artist in his own right, one deserving of a much wider audience.
