Perhaps Paul Roland can brighten those long dark autumns evenings with his new musical offering, 'Pavane', whose soothing strains may serve to quieten those savage beasts prowling the woods, hungry for human flesh!
'Pavane' is an acoustic outing although his definition of 'acoustic' embraces all manner of extra instrumentation including harpsichord, woodwind, violins and mandolin. Yes, Roland goes Baroque again with a smattering of neo-folk as they term it these days.
Includes a second disc with great cover versions of "Dazed and Confused" (Led Zeppelin), Meadows of the Sea (Marc Bolan)!!
"Absolute genius!' (Black magazine)
"If Shakespeare, Poe and Conan Doyle were alive today, they would surely have some Roland in their record collections."(Bucketful of Brains)
'The male Kate Bush' (Robyn Hitchcock)
"a maestro of melancholy and madness... ornate gothic/baroque songwriting and quintessentially English pop-psych dementia...princely stuff." (Ptolemaic Terrascope)
