Cousin Gabriel's debut CD 'Wilting Petal Epiphyte' is not just some songs thrown together and put on a record. 'Wilting Petal Epiphyte' is a journey. From the subdued and fragile beginnings of 'Repair,' to the histrionics of 'The Weak,' Cousin Gabriel takes you with them as they explore emotion. Whether surreal (Dead Bird In A Rain Barrel) or precise (Relinquish), honesty permeates each and every song. The lyrics are poignant and thoughtful, but never pretentious. The songs go from hard (Dreaming), to soft (CNH), to a hard/soft dynamic (Road) that will make sure you're never bored while listening.
