Archer, Paul – Art [CD]

Description

“Art” marks a significant milestone for Northern Irish musician Paul Archer his first solo album in a 30-year career that spans acclaimed projects like Disreali Gears, Ghears, and Burning Codes. This soulful collection represents a creative rebirth, thoughtfully divided between euphoric alt-rock (recorded in Leeds with producer Andy Hawkins) and contemplative cosmic soul (recorded in Belfast with Rick Bleakley). The album features impressive collaborations with Duke Special, Janet Henry, Jim Lockhart (ex-Horslips), and Jonny Quinn (ex-Snow Patrol), among others. Released by Think Like A Key on CD with two exclusive bonus tracks, “Art” beautifully integrates Archer’s musical vision with his Abstract Expressionist visual art, which adorns the packaging. A triumphant return home and artistic statement from a gifted melodicist who continues to find light in the darkness.
