Paper Beat Scissors – Rest Your Bones [Listen/Download]

Posted by Ming Wu on March 8, 2012 No comments

The one time I have seen Tim Crabtree who goes by Paper Beat Scissors was two years ago for this intimate session.
Paper Beat Scissors just dropped his self-titled debut album.
Here is a blurb on the album.
“Paper Beat Scissors’ self-titled debut obsesses over ends; ends as states of loss, ends as places for reflection, ends as necessary preconditions to new beginnings.
Tim Crabtree’s haunting voice lies at the centre of everything, with an honesty and rawness that skirts discomfort”.
Have a listen to Rest Your Bones which features French horn extraordinaire Pietro Amato of The Luyas/Bell Orchestre fame.
