OTD last year our record Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog was released on @CantaloupeNY. A collaboration with the legendary @kronosquartet and an incredible cast of vocalists.

David Byrne with Ghost Train Orchestra hunkered down in the studio this past week with producer Kid Harpoon to record incredible new songs by David with GTO arrangements. An amazing adventure!

"A fascinating adventure through Moondog’s artsy, esoteric, eclectic, life-affirming world. This album belongs in the library of every serious lover of contemporary chamber music." stringsmagazine.com/ghost-tr…

My @Tracking_Angle review of the Ghost Train Orchestra and Kronos Quartet's startling album of the music of Moondog. trackingangle.com/music/moon…
A wonderfully written piece by Fred Kaplan on the new record...
"It is a splendid, engrossing, revelatory album. It’s also a lot of fun."
trackingangle.com/music/moon…
Great review from Frédéric Cardin in @PANM360
"An indispensable album played with finesse and recorded with great quality, perhaps heralding the long-awaited advent of official recognition."
panm360.com/en/records/ghost…
Our new record is listed among the @BostonGlobe 50 Favorite Albums of the Year. Writes Noah Schaffer,
"Joined by the Kronos Quartet and guest vocalists, they capture both the wit and beauty that made Moondog so unique."
