Gunsling Birds is driving through Main Street late at night and noticing how the rain cleans the streets when we sleep; a candle-light image of a familiar room. There is a refreshing clarity innate in the tones and timbres which can at once leave you spellbound, and utterly distracted.
Gunsling Birds is the name of a band formed by the musician Scott Hallam, who constitutes its core as songwriter and singer. It is a name designated by him to describe the ever-revolving constellation of his very, very talented friends with whom he performs and records. Gunsling Birds currently presides and operates in the thriving Brooklyn music community.
The new release is Abode of Kings in a Derelict Kingdom.“Abode of Kings in a Derelict Kingdom was recorded between the spring of 2007 and the winter of 2008, whereupon it was released in March of 2009. Scott Hallam, who constitutes the core of Gunsling Birds, worked in tandem with friends and producers Seth Faulk and Frank Wartinger, who also performed drums and piano, respectively. Also featured are the bass skills of Mike Tuccillo of funk/soul band Julius C.’
“Abode of Kings is an album about both exploration and isolation and an insular travel in a dream-like state. It traverses the realm of the gentle and melancholy, punctuated by the periodic clamor of noisy ambiance. Drawing on rich and diverse arrangements, it illustrates a world that is both desperate and desolate, but also fragile and precious.”
