Jordan Galland Sets Album and Film Release

Search Party similarly showcases Galland's knack for mixing genres and evoking the mood of another time in his music, while his modern narrative lyrics keep the listener in the present tense. "Like if Arcade Fire, Leonard Cohen and Rufus Wainwright were to all meet up for a swanky meal in a stylish, smoky jazz club" (Jack Pudwell, Subba Cultcha).

Search Party pulls from material written through the spring and summer of 2009, building upon Galland's solo debut Airbrush and a handful of material originally co-produced with Mark Ronson for the band Domino. The languid vocals and tongue-in-cheek lyrics that were so apparent on Airbrush are still a major part of Search Party, yet Galland expands a foundation inspired by the likes of Serge Gainsbourg, David Bowie and the Talking Heads with robust African beats, mangy T-Rex-style guitar and brassy horns.
