Composer / singer / songwriter Gabriel Kahane releases Magnificent Bird. The album, his fifth solo LP and second for Nonesuch Records, chronicles the final month of a year spent off the internet. In his most personal album since 2011's Where are the Arms, Kahane revels in the tension between quiet, domestic concerns, and the roiling chaos of a nation and planet in crisis. ‘Sit Shiva’, the album’s first single, finds Kahane skirting the rules of his digital hiatus in order to mourn, online, the death of his maternal grandmother; in typical fashion, he mines not just pathos, but humour and grace amidst his family’s grief.The dozen collaborators who appear on Magnificent Bird – a list that also includes composer / performers Nathalie Joachim and Pekka Kuusisto; the celebrated clarinetist Anthony McGill; avant-folk stalwarts Sam Amidon and Holcombe Waller; longtime colleagues Gabriel Cabezas, Casey Foubert, Alex Sopp, and Elizabeth Ziman; and mix engineer Joseph Lorge – reflect a central paradox: a trunk of songs written in self-imposed isolation was brought to life through the very technology Kahane had shunned.
