NYC
native Paul Brill first chipped his musical teeth on the icy landscape
of North-Central Vermont. After a few light-deprived winters, Paul hitched
his wagon to the California Gold Rush, where he dabbled in brief stints
as an herbal smokes salesman, valet, corporate errand boy, & marine
biology instructor, among other glamorous endeavors. It was during this
time that Paul began pursuing music in earnest, performing extensively
across the US. Upon his return to NY, Paul worked at a small school in
East Harlem, where he continues to volunteer when in town. In addition
to writing & recording songs for his own CDs, Paul has composed music
for several films, commercials, &, most recently, the theme for a
new NPR program.
Paul Brill’s latest record, New Pagan Love Song received
widespread critical acclaim & was chosen as an Critic’s Choice
Top 10 CD of the Year by Rolling Stone Magazine; CD/Artist of
the Week by Allmusic.com; & was hailed by GQ as
'the soundtrack to a lost Wes Anderson film.' Pitchfork Media lauded NPLS
as 'a demure opus that serves as a testament to the enduring potency of
classical pop songwriting' & Mojo called it 'masterful.'
Paul’s next record will be released in spring 2006 on Scarlet Shame
Records.
