biographical info
" The tenement flophouse in spanish harlem has heard his songs.The ghosts of bleeker and Macdougal interrupt their gypped chorus to hear his songs.The Max Fish art dealer goes to the pink pony to get in over his head while hearing his songs.The "critical troubadours" come back from failed marketing meetings and hear his fragile neo folk songs.L.Cohen"s Susanne makes her way to a cafe in Nolita to hear his songs.Their ornate orchestration seduce.Even the ancient rats on Jane st. stop their thieving and hear Kevin House,s debut "Gutter Pastoral" before dis appearing into the cold smoke night.Stop by for your listen to this remarkable record sure to strike a chord with fans of the outsider singer songwriter record.
Zulu Records Vancouver, Canada
Using everything from a simple guitar and voice to a theremin, the atmosphere is rife with dark allusions and black humour.While House"s closest influence seems to be early Red House Painters there is also a rather strong sense of purpose and direction...inspiring through its beauty.
