This week, tune in to Instagram Live (@childrenhavingchildren) nightly to hear songwriter / occasional piano man Steven Kaiser in conversation with the musicians who brought this song to life.
Debra Kate Schafer at the legendary Aquarian magazine reviewed and premiered the new Children Having Children single “Cables To String”, calling it an “unmatched balance of art rock and alt rock.” Read the full review here.
Recorded in spurts over the better part of a decade while searching for the perfect players, the highly collaborative "Cables To String" features a heart-wrenching performance by guest vocalist Isobel Knight over the ebb & flow of haunting piano, swirling strings, and a blistering rhythm section.
Mixed by Anthony "Rocky" Gallo (Cigarettes After Sex, John Legend) and engineered by Bob Mallory (Kings Of Leon, Bruno Mars) & Nathan Rosenberg (Poe), the track also features guest performances by Bryan Garbe (Oak & Ash) on drums and Ward Williams (Jump, Little Children) on cello.
Much like the journey described in its lyrics, the song's recording process became its own odyssey of chance encounters unexpectedly etched in permanence.
In the coming weeks, be on the lookout for Kaiser’s recollections of the many surprises he encountered in writing and recording the song.
