KIVEL, MATT - Double Exposure

"The debut solo album by Los Angeles based musician Matt Kivel. Double Exposure was recorded over the span of a year and a half in various L.A. locations with the assistance of Mark Nieto and it was mixed by Paul Oldham. The album art features original paintings by Max Markowitz._¢‚Ǩ¬ù - Forced Exposure. _¢‚Ǩ_ìMost of the record was done at this rehearsal space that Mark had moved into above Solutions Audio in Los Feliz. He was living there and there was no shower. It was pretty gnarly. We would meet at night, drink whiskey, and talk about music... I was watching a lot of movies -- I have this ambitious program where Im trying to watch the entire Criterion Collection. A lot of those films influenced the work on this record: Kurosawas Ran and Pasolinis Salo left a big impression on me. Salo is one of the most horrifying things Ive ever seen. Other things that I was into at the time of this record: John Renbourn The Lady and the Unicorn, Saul Bellows Herzog, Broadcast Tender Buttons, Fennesz Endless Summer, John Woos The Killer, Peter Weirs Picnic At Hanging Rock, Steve McQueens Hunger, Bert Jansch Lucky 13, and lots of Nick Drake." - Matt Kivel.
