Gorbel has come full circle this year, stepping out from behind the Honorary Title name and recording two remarkable new discs.

Produced by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Guster), the album combined the unbridled passion of Gorbel’s vocals with pop hooks and keenly observed, poetic lyrics. The self-produced video for their song “Everything I Once Had” became a fixture on FUSE, and the disc earned accolades from Rolling Stone (“a soaring, heart-rending debut,”) Spin (which praised Gorbel’s “winning humor and killer pipes,”) and GQ, among others.
