Young Paul

Let's let the words of others describe Young Paul: (…) an overt celebration of the dark furrows of the 80s synth-twiddling scene (think of early Tears For Fears and Depeche Mode), filtered through some more recent song-screwdriving a la dEUS or the Dresden Dolls (…) Their cover of Paul Young's Stay For Good This Time (that's right, Young Paul do a Paul Young song) is beautiful.

Let's let the words of others describe Young Paul: (…) an overt celebration of the dark furrows of the 80s synth-twiddling scene (think of early Tears For Fears and Depeche Mode), filtered through some more recent song-screwdriving a la dEUS or the Dresden Dolls (…) Their cover of Paul Young's Stay For Good This Time (that's right, Young Paul do a Paul Young song) is beautiful. They've changed the chorus melody into a sinister evocation of Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction and it works scarily well. (…) You're either hypnotically staring into the abyss on a neuromantic vampire trip, or you're a townie with a puzzled look on your face, muttering "eh?" and "what?" and "piss off!".They've found their darkly pop, crowd-dividing identity, they really mean it, and they're sticking with it. Young Paul is a brilliant toxic shock of sci-fi future TOTP.” - AMELIA’S MAGAZINE http://www.ameliasmagazine.com ........................................................................................................................................................................................... “This is a duo of guitarist Omer, resplendent in white suit and permed hair flopping over his face and Carole, who has a huge voice and a small keyboard. (…)There are proper songs here, and an impressive chemistry between the two performers. (…)The music is insidiously catchy, the mood is warm and a general bonhomie prevails. If it wasn’t so stubbornly attached, I would have danced my ass off.” - CALL IN THE WYLD http://callofthewyld.blogspot.com
