Gig





'April & I' Reviews:


"The debut from wunderkind Paul Steel is a veritable masterwork of pop brillance. Ten tracks that segue seamlessly to make one 27-minute song. April & I tells the tale of a boy, his imaginary friend, and the struggles of growing up. Playful melodies and lush harmonies abound among orchestral swells, traditional piano and guitar, and even a dance party electronic romp. In synthesizing a history of pop from The Beach Boys to latter day groups like The Posies and Jellyfish, Paul Steel has created the perfect headphone symphony. (www.myspace.com/paulsteel)" 8 blips out of 10
- Under The Radar Magazine

"April & I is perfection. The best album since Brian Wilson’s Smile. Honestly. Buy it now."
- The London Paper
Quotes:


A triumph of reason and passion for a writer at any age, but most impressive for an 18-year old. Filled with epiphanies that lead him in a totally individual direction.
- Van Dyke Parks

This kid is really sweet, and has some interesting chord changes and melodies. His songs are very ambitious, and their best moments sound a bit like Queen meeting the Beach Boys in the bedroom of a 15 year old boy wearing batman pyjamas. Certainly a talent.
- Sean Ono Lennon

Paul is most definitely a major songwriting talent and a totally realised producer. His understanding of arrangement is beyond question. This is very special music.
- Sean O'Hagan, The High Llamas.

Gorgeous music. Are you really as young as they say..? If so, there's hope yet.
- Wondermints

Paul Steel rules. This is amazing work
- Iain Archer, former Snow Patroller and Ivor Novello Award-winning songwriter.

In A Coma just @$%^&* freaked me out!! Holy @$%^&* bananas!! The ending killed me. Dude, I raise the goblet of pop high in the air and toast thee venerable knight that conquers melody and harmony like a dragon slayer. Here here. WTF??
- Nelson Bragg, artist and Brian Wilson band member.

Paul Steel produces the sweetest, richest, most glorious pop music of the 21st century. A shining star in the musical firmament.
- Ralph Brown, actor and musician.

"You are given a one pound coin"

I see what you are all thinking....You walk into the iTunes Store and see a generous amount of "I's" and "Tunes" fluttering around like Great Crested Grebes. Well in fact, its that overwhelmed by Marmite that its difficult for the Great Crested Grebes to get a look in.

It merely comes down to whether you would prefer to spend your designated pound coin on Marmite or as you may well know our iTune 'Play The Game' which clocks in at a miniscule 79p. Leaving you with 21p to spend on a pack of home brand crisps which are often referred to as potato chips in America.

Now your mission statement is to either Love it or Hate it and indeed go ahead and buy it.

'Play The Game' out on iTunes now!

Ocean is beautiful x
Eric





Jun 5 2008 2:21 AM

Hey Paul,

just wanted to let you know! I adore Ocean, my last comment really didn't explain how much I like it. It's perfect.

I also just bought April and I again on Itunes. I had it from a couple years ago when you were offering it for free but I tragically lost it when my computer was destroyed. Bummer.

Is there any way I could still get a physical CD? I would love to have one. Maybe I could buy an autographed copy off of you?!

Jun 4 2008 2:07 AM

Hey Paul! I've been working a lot and recording my own songs, I have this group called The Lexingtons (I also found out there is an imposter group called the lexingtons from england as well!)

I really should get around to fixing up that beach boys blog, i've been neglecting it quite a lot. Anyway! All the best, and make sure to force those record people to put out your album ASAP!

Ocean is a real great song Paul. Very powerful and spiritual. Working with Mr. Kalinich must have been something!
