Αναλυτική Περιγραφή
Gabriel Birnbaum cuts straight to the spiritual essence of the characters
he inhabits, painting affecting and lovingly drawn scenes bolstered by
cathartic hooks. Like one of his own espoused patron saints, Paul Simon,
Birnbaum sets new challenges for himself with each recording, honing
the nuts and bolts of his songcra and pinpointing unexpected new
aesthetic contexts for it. The lush and psychedelic folk-rock songs on his
new album Patron Saint of Tireless Losers confidently cut to the essence
of his artistry, highlighting a mature narrative voice, and a consistently
surprising musical syntax. As much as anything Birmbaum has put into
the world, it’s a tour de force that thrives on both self-assuredness and
restlessness—marks of a crucial and constantly evolving artist whose
work it’s impossible to turn away from once you tap into its frequency.“deeply romantic, enraptured with being
in love and alive, while not the least bit shy
to exercise demons across stately ballads
and plugged-in power pop prayers.” -
- Aquarium Drunkard“Birnbaum’s deep, soulful drawl invites
comparisons to Craig Finn and Joe Henry,
a burnished instrument that serves the
songs extremely well.”
