Spotlight: Boy Without God
21, 2011), the new release from NYC via Boston songwriter Gabriel Birnbaum under his Boy Without God alter-ego, follows in the footsteps of these new classics, combining forceful pop songwriting in the singer-songwriter tradition (John Phillips, Van Morrison) with extended forms, complex orchestration (Joanna Newsom, Nico Muhly), and the wilder side of jazz and improvised music (Albert Ayler, Charles Mingus).
