The Honorary Title Solo Release

01/25/2010
. Jarrod Gorbel, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter behind esteemed indie act The Honorary Title, announces the self-release of a solo EP. "Ten Years Older" was released digitally on January 19th, 2010. The collection, recorded in New York, is a taste of what is to come with Gorbel's approaching full-length solo album, Devil's Made A New Friend.

Gorbel has come full circle this year, stepping out from behind the Honorary Title name and recording two remarkable new discs. His solo sound mines classic soul, traditional folk and Americana, incorporating strings, horns and female backing vocals for a sound more lush and organic than any of his previous work.

The Honorary Title began several years ago as the moniker for Gorbel's solo folk musings, and later evolved into a full-fledged quartet. The band released their debut, Anything Else But The Truth, in 2004; the album received praise from Rolling Stone and Spin. Their first major-label release, 2007's Scream and Light Up the Sky, also garnered critical accolades, with Paste Magazine proclaiming that the album was the "under-realized power-pop supergroup"'s best to date.

With its deceptively simple melodies, warm arrangements and soulful, soaring vocals, Gorbel's solo material brings the best qualities of The Honorary Title into crisp focus, making the details even more enchanting.

March 1 Mississippi Studios Portland, Or
