Reduced Price Paul Archer – Art (Vinyl)– Josey Records

Description

Details: “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 on Side A (recorded in Leeds with producer Andy Hawkins) and contemplative cosmic soul on Side B (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 limited edition vinyl, “Art” beautifully integrates Archer’s musical vision with his Abstract Expressionist visual art, which adorns the album’s packaging. A triumphant return home and artistic statement from a gifted melodicist who continues to find light in the darkness.
