"Kadman sound somewhat like Codeine and the Kadane Brothers (i.e. Bedhead / New Years); reference "math", "gasoline", "misery", and "fear"; a song's called 'New Year's Day'; the artwork's vintage 4AD / Red House Painters. Kadman are aiming high with their influences, and the best of their crescendoes. (7/10) Drowned In Sound
"With audibly noticeable influences like Low and Iron & Wine, Kadman’s debut album carves a comfortable niche in America’s neo-folk, sadcore sound. - Moue Magazine
"...Drawn with heavy black shades, Kadman's music paints a picture of landscapes that have been frozen in time, where the only things that move are dead leaves carried away by the wind. Epic. Myspace record of the week..." - Indie For Bunnies
"Lazy Sunday afternoon recovery music. Minimalist shoegaze sleepytime music. It’s vulnerable. It’s not safe. I’m looking forward to giving this record some serious play..." - Mobtown Studios
"Kadman cathartically rains on my parade" - SENBaltimore.com
ABOUT THE ALBUM
Sing To Me Slower marks their first studio recording and features a blend of spacious love songs and collages of sound. Featuring 11 songs the album includes fan favorites such as the propulsive “Diesel,” the poignant “Honeymoon’s End” and the Crazy Horse guitar squalls of “Sorry.” Having the ability to experiment in the studio gave the band an opportunity to redefine their view of “sadcore.” By crafting and exploring new sounds based on guitar loops and ambient soundscapes the band was able to create a new foundation for songs such as “New Year’s Day” and “Raise The Curtain.” Sing To Me Slower is a warm and inviting record; you will find it makes for a comforting listen.

ABOUT THE BAND
KADMAN originated as the project of David Manchester, a singer/songwriter armed with the influences of contemporary artists such as Iron & Wine, Mark Kozelek, Nick Drake and Elliot Smith. After seven years performing solo & acoustic, David has joined forces with his brother Mitch, on bass and drummer Matt Smith to expand the sound of KADMAN. Influenced by the minimalist beauty of Low and the droning shoegazer elements of Yo La Tengo, the trio experiments with guitar loops and textures and continue to evolve into what is described as neo-american sadcore. The band recently welcomed James Bahleda as their new bassist as Mitch has taken some time to welcome his newborn daughter.
