Jordan Galland is a musician, writer and filmmaker who grew up and lives in New York City. His debut solo album, Airbrush was released in 2009 prior to his directorial debut on the film Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead, set for nationwide release in the Spring of 2010. Inspired by Leonard Cohen, Serge Gainsbourg and David Bowie, Galland’s cheeky lyrics are set to pop melodies that mix horns, keys and dreamy backing vocals, creating a sound one might find on their most treasured b-side.

Prior to his solo-work, Jordan formed the band Dopo Yume in 1998, touring with the likes Cibo Matto, Rufus Wainwright, Ween and Lilly Allen to name a few. As a solo-artist, Galland has contributed to numerous albums including Sean Lennon’s Friendly Fire (Capitol Records), Daniel Merriweather’s Love & War (Allido Records) and with Mark Ronson for the motion picture soundtrack for 21. Jordan’s sophomore effort, Search Party is set for release in 2010.

What they’re saying…

Jordan Galland is a force to be reckoned with.

Devilishly suave melodies… The most striking aspect of Airbrush upon first listen is just how classy the whole affair sounds. Like if Arcade Fire, Leonard Cohen and Rufus Wainwright were to all meet up for a swanky meal in a stylish, smoky jazz club. A delightfully mature, memorable and elegant solo-debut.
Jack Pudwell, Subba Cultcha

Galland has crafted a work of sountrack-esque beauty in Airbrush… A highly recommended release from an especially talented fellow!

Jordan Galland’s music is one-of-a-kind, blending a diverse range of styles into highly listenable pop. Vibrant horns and keys stand out over hints of “pop noir.
