About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Brighton-based Paul Steel (20) is picking up new and enthusiastic fans by the cartload, including XTC's Andy Partridge, High Llama's Sean O'Hagan, legendary Brian Wilson collaborators Van Dyke Parks and Stephen John Kalinich, plus Brian's current band Wondermints.

Recent support slots with Sean Lennon, Aqualung, Jim Noir, Ed Harcourt, David Ford, Heavy Blinkers and Duke Special; and recording sessions with Craig Silvey (Magic Numbers, The Coral), Simon Lord (Simian, Bent) and Charlie Francis (High Llama's, REM) have continued to build the buzz.

Paul's style has been compared to contemporary psychedelic pop artists Super Furry Animals, Grandaddy and Rufus Wainwright.

  • April & I Review...

    Paul Steel - 'NOT just another singer songwriter' - and thank the Lord for that. In these post-Blunt times it seems any bloke gigging under his real name is a sensitive, acoustic balladeer - omega males the lot of them. But not Paul, the Brighton singer has a healthy obsession with the Beach Boys and some huge, huge ideas that belie his station as a solo artist. Over just under half an hour of ten seamlessly linked tracks we hear every section of the orchestra accompanying layers and layers of vocals. It's as if Paul has all his friends round helping, or at least a Brian Wilson guardian angel.

    'April and I' tells the story of Paul's relationship with his real-life childhood imaginary friend April (whom he still keeps regular contact with we hear) and the covers the subjects of suicide, school bullies and honkin' (on his crackpipe). Meanwhile anything and everything is fired at the studio wall and what sticks (mostly everything) sticks. For instance, the classic Spector-esque sound of 'Take It Or Leave It' merges invisibly into the pounding Queen meets Bonkers hardcore of 'School Bully' before seamlessly morphing back to calm and the beauty of 'I Gave Her My Number'. Elsewhere, the lunatic 'Honkin' (On My Crackpipe)' (this crack is pure fuckin' belter man!') sounds like The Small Faces fronted by Elvis Costello covering the theme to The Flumps. By the sound of it, it probably looked like that too.

    The end of the album features a spine-tingling triumvirate of ephemeral, electrifying yet hopeless movie soundtrack goodness and all served with harmonies the Beach Boys would sell their castrated testicles for.

    It's rare that a complete unknown comes along with such an ambitious and, frankly, gorgeous album. This is the album that everyone who has bought Mika's number one LP will wish they had heard first!
