Kris Gruen

New Comics From The Wooded World finds Kris Gruen’s voice seasoned, soaring, and at the height of his craft. The spacious, textured production combines the sweeping sounds of classic rock and the intimacy of a Nick Drake midnight session. The album was produced by Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields, AM, Soko) and recorded in San Francisco at John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone Studios. It features contributions from and array of friends including drummer Butch Norton (Lucinda Williams, Eels), Anais Mitchell, Sean Hayes, Shiben Bhattacharya (Matt Nathanson), Jason Goforth (Over The Rhine), The Bowmans and more.
