Noah Kahan's music reflects the emotional complexities of fame and relationships, blending folk influences with personal storytelling.
In a 2019 interview with Machine Music-one of the few he's ever given-Patrick Walker pushed back on the notion that Warning makes "very loud folk music." His retort, palpably prickly even in text: "I don't see that connection there. Warning was very much about riffs, and was a metal album." It's understandable that Walker's interlocutor would pursue this line of questioning. Warning's singular approach to doom metal has a way of making you disbelieve your own ears.
