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.”
Fires on the Plain
“Matt Kivel’s patient, close-miked folk music opens up slowly, revealing painful secrets the more time you spend listening to it.”
