Search - Kahn Brothers :: Love Melts Fear

The Kahn Brothers are a new band for Edo and Nadav Kahn, formally the core of Sydney art rock band Gelbison and sometime members of supergroup Nations By the River. Love Melts Fear features some of Australia's finest musicians, with the legendary Hamish Stuart on drums, Oliver Smith on bass, and the angelic voices of Sarah Blasko and Jessica Chapnik laced through the record. In addition, some tracks feature horns, bassoon, bass flute and a string quartet. The album, recorded at Electric Avenue in Sydney, with longstanding friend and producer Tony Buchen (aka Buchman), was mixed in Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studio in New York. The band's first single from the album `Open' has been added across the board on Triple J, to Channel V's `Left Field' program, to RRR, FBI, PBS and Rage. Edo and Nadav, who spent their childhood years in Israel, before their family migrated to Australia, grew up in a country where war was an everyday threat that brought both fear and the preciousness of existence into their daily lives. The musical soundtrack of their early years was a combination of Israeli folk music, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel and the Beatles. In 2003, along with fellow musicians Luke Steele (The Sleepy Jackson) and Ohad Rein (Old Man River), the Kahns wrote and produced Holes in the Valley, released under the name Nations by the River and performed at the Sydney Opera House.
