Kelly Doyle - Thieves (2026) [Hi-Res]

Houston-based guitarist Kelly Doyle released the instrumental album Thieves, crafted with a cinematic aesthetic that fuses ambient jazz, psychedelic exotica, and noir Western themes. Tracked across two recording sessions in 2023 and 2025, the music features bassist Will Story, drummer Jeremy Bruch, and reed player Nelson Devereaux. Recorded and mixed by engineer Steve Christensen (known for his work with Khruangbin, Steve Earle, and Paul McCartney), the production emphasizes spacious, raw acoustics while balancing structured composition with free-form improvisation.
