Gabriel and the Hounds' Daytrotter Session Up Now!

"There are bones being picked clean in Gabriel and the Hounds songs. They could very well be getting picked by the same hounds that lead singer Gabriel Levine is running with - that he's raising and training, that he's been patting on the head and thumping proudly on the ribs as they sit at his side. There is carnage littered about the ground, at the feet, broken people strewn here and there, in their various states of breakdown, and there are definitely buzzards and turkey vultures mingling around for their turns at the leftovers." Listen to Gabriel and The Hound's Daytrotter Session here!

Gabriel and The Hounds Gabe Levine Chats With The Huffington Post

"Levine has branched out with a new project under the name Gabriel and the Hounds. At the outset, Kiss Full of Teeth (out today on Ernest Jennings Records) was intended to sound like a Roy Orbison album crafted by a Philip Glass enthusiast. But after Levine decided to track a fair share of its content on a field recorder, and introduce a network of Julliard-trained string arrangers and players alongside his Brooklyn music-scene constituency (musicians who've played with the National, Beirut, Björk, Jonsi, and more), something unexpected -- something baroque, symphonic, sultry, and very good--has come about." Read the complete interview at The Huffington Post.

The Guardian Features Gabriel and the Hounds As Their Band Of The Day


"Kiss Full of Teeth, the album in question, is actually worth repeated, rapt attention. It's one of those records whose qualities reveal themselves over time. Recorded in assorted living rooms and studios around Brooklyn, but mainly at local favourite the Seaside Lounge and the National's garage set-up, it is a triumph of slow-burning melody and intelligent management, Gabriel Levine – taking a break from his day job as vocalist with Takka Takka – co-ordinating the dozen or so instrumentalists with aplomb." Read the complete review on The Guardian.

Download Gabriel and the Hounds', "The World Unfolds" On Spinner

"Like much of the album, this song spilled out quickly, almost unconsciously. The words and vocal turns remain unchanged from the quirky original demo which I recorded after a bit of a scrape up I had." Read more from Gabriel Levin about this track.
