about

Kenny Nowell is a writer and guitarist born and raised in Mississippi and residing in Brooklyn.

He recorded for the legendary Factory Records sister label Les Disques Du Crepuscules with his band Great Big Buildings (greatbigbuildings.bandcamp.com/album/great-big-buildings). Melody Maker described the songs as “delicate, flickering emotional snapshots” that offer “hair-fine cracks through which you glimpse a private place.”

The New York Times said: "Mr. Nowell's technique is poetic, clipped, precise; scenes are intercut, chopped off, bled or knocked into one another, a kind of Cubist sculpturing of consciousness and event that replicates the pain and absurdity of family trauma. Think of Donald Margulies's world skewed by a noir Thornton Wilder collaborating with Gertrude Stein."
