Under his other musical guise, Paul Marshall is one half of the noise/disco two-piece Concentration Champ, but anybody expecting his solo project to be anything like the detuned racket of the Champ will be sorely disappointed, or perhaps even pleasantly surprised. Pauls solo work is acoustic based, with lush finger-picked melodies ghosting underneath fragile vocal lines that place him somewhere between Nick Drake, Iron and Wine and Red House Painters. Whilst primarily just Paul and his guitar, other instrumentation drifts in and out of the melancholy passages like silhouettes in fog, while flecks of rhythm are interspersed throughout to add to the lilt of the rolling arpeggios. Expect something quite, quite beautiful.
