Gabriels are the first faces of Clash Issue 124.
The LA three-piece are perhaps the definition of an overnight success storybut the ease of Gabriels rise belies the years of creativity that have led to this point. Three musicians with hugely varying backgroundsone a gospel colossus, one a film maker, and the other a soundtrack artistthey somehow amalgamate those differences, creating some truly special music in the process.
Live, theyre a tour de force. On record, few can compare to them. Yet the story of Gabriels isnt without its twists and turns, a self-contained universe occupied by a triptych of singular artists.
As vocalist Jacob Lusk puts it: We arent afraid to be honest
Elsewhere in this issue, youll explore the soulful realm of R&B aesthete Foushe, and meet the pan-genre sonic voyagerKAM-BU.Well pin-pointdaines avant pop futurism, and gain some life lessons from seminal UK rapper Avelino. Youll be granted an audience with Grammy-winning saxophonist and songwriter Venna, before diving into the realm of Black Lips, the seminal 90s queer theatrical collective which centred around ANOHNI.
