Four years after their debut album, the indie pop band from Salt Lake City Choir Boy returned in 2020 with Gathering Swans, a moving album steeped in nostalgic pop and filled with poignant heartbreak. Founded around singer Adam Klopp, the band now has a permanent lineup that includes bassist Chaz Costello, saxophonist and keyboardist Jeff Kleinman, and guitarist Michael Paulsen. After a series of concerts with Cold Cave, Snail Mail, and Ceremony, the band set to work on writing their new album. It features a great sense of melody, a pop sensibility, and an impeccable polish. With his angelic voice, Adam Klopp delivers a transcendent vocal performance on an album that is both danceable and charged with tenderness and romance. Creative, sincere, passionate, Gathering Swans paints a bright, hopeful, and deeply moving picture.
