Paul Brill first began making music in the great tradition of bedroom musicians, writing and recording songs on his four-track home studio. Following a period of wood-shedding in Vermont, L.A. and San Francisco (with extensive national DIY touring), he settled in N.Y.C. His 2001 solo debut "Halve the Light" was critically acclaimed and was a college radio darling. Paul terms his music "Post-Country Heartache," writing songs that fall somewhere between pop and Americana. This 11 track full-length album weaves a narrative amongst the sultry tones of pedal steel, guitars, strings, piano and vocal harmonies. Features Paul's regular gigging band and guest appearances by members of the Duke Ellington Orchestra and the Tin Hat Trio.
