2012 solo debut album from Brooklyn artist Gabriel Levine, best known as founding member and singer in Takka Takka. In the midst of a feverish writing cycle, Gabe realized the new material differed from Takka Takka songs. He was creating intimate sketches, raw and personal, that joined together as stories of disappointment, letting go and of the inevitability of endings, those of relationships, youth and innocence. Inspired by Kate Bush's Hounds of Love he found a name for the project and was on his way. Gabe recorded the album around Brooklyn in living rooms, garages, and in proper studios including community stalwart Seaside Lounge and the National's garage studio in Ditmas Park. The various musicians who came together to record this album include performers who are in or have recorded with the National, Beirut, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Sufjan Stevens, Pat Jordache, Tune-Yards, Bjork, Jonsi, and St Vincent.
