Product Description
CD Description
England s psychpop guru Paul Roland, dubbed the male Kate Bush by one time label mate Robyn Hitchcock, releases his first new album for two years exclusively on German label Syborg music on July 15th. All of the songs on Grimm were inspired by the dark fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm but given a baroque chamber pop setting by Paul whose highly original character-rich narratives have earned him the title of the Edgar Allen Poe of Pop . For the first time Paul plays all the instruments on the album and also narrates two stories which he re-wrote as spoken word bonus tracks based on two of the Grimm Brothers lesser known tales. Paul has been lauded in Europe where he toured extensively in the 80s and 90s regularly selling out venues of 5,000 or more, but he remains criminally underappreciated in his native Britain. As Record Collector recently remarked, Why can t we acknowledge our own geni? Well, now is a chance to discover the man they call the lost genius of pop . Genius at play! If Shakespeare, Poe and Conan Doyle were alive today, they would surely have some Roland in their record collections. Unfortunately they re dead... what s your excuse? Bucketful of Brains . Psych-pop genius...full of gruesome atmosphere...These recordings delineate a mastery of character all perfectly described in sound. Ian Abrahams Record Collector March 2010. Paul Roland has remained a cherished figure on the gothic rock and psychpop periphery for 30 years...a treasury of detail and eloquence...Roland s impeccable narratives (and) formal, baroque instrumentation...creates the antiquated yet timeless ambience his songs deserve . * * * * Marco Rossi Record Collector May 2010
