Double Exposure
“Matt Kivel's acoustic Double Exposure is a small masterpiece of humble virtues: warm, patient, calm. It is beautifully, pristinely recorded, finely wrought; its twelve songs represent some of the least insistent music you will be spellbound by all year.”
Days of Being Wild
“Guitarist Matt Kivel's debut Double Exposure was a deeply solitary record. On his follow-up, Days of Being Wild, he's still troubled by mortality, but on Days he is pushing away from it, towards life and contact.”
Janus
“The singer/songwriter's third album, Janus, is a change-up. Kivel has generally been known for spare and hushed songs, with only a few instruments creating a ripple of distress in his lovely folk melodies. Many songs here are chaotic and noisy, however, disrupting his reveries with scribbles of atonal clamor.”
