Kaneb Andrews reveals his new single "I DON'T WANNA TALK TO GOD," a powerful combination of Indie Folk and Folk Rock, which is both intimate and cinematic. With its wide-open emotion and organic production, the song serves as the last pre-release single from Andrews' forthcoming EP, "False Prophets," and it's an emotional sledgehammer for what's to come.
Primarily recorded in one take live at Second Take Sound in Manhattan, the track embodies a rambling aesthetic that simply can't be achieved with overproduction. The song is three years' worth of bottled-up emotion, turmoil, desire, and longing poured into a performance that feels intensely personal but nonetheless universally resonant.
Co-produced by Andrews, including Matt Anthony, the single demonstrates a full-band rapport that drives its centre. Nya Holmes's bass provides a sturdy pulse, Andy Stone of the group Gardenback underpins it on drums, and Rohit Oomman unveils vivid textures on electric guitar. Benjamin Edelson and Jenna Love add warmth on keys and organ, and Lily Gilbert's background vocals offer a spectral presence to balance out the emotional weight of the song.
The result is a song that foregrounds folk storytelling within cinematic scope. Andrews sends his message with a voice that quakes between tenderness and strength, transforming "I DON'T WANNA TALK TO GOD" into something beautiful. With this song, Kaneb Andrews further establishes himself as a brave storyteller who isn't afraid to spill his truth. This single is a whole moment of transparency captured in sound.
