Paul Thomas Saunders
ESNS: 2012
He sings higher than the castrato son of a choirboy, that's how a journalist with a love of exaggeration tried to describe the singing voice of Paul Thomas Saunders. He doesn't sing that high. There is an angel like element in his voice that makes people say crazy things. Saunders writes his songs often at night, with just a microphone and a computer. That typical atmosphere can be heard in his rich sounds. According to The Guardian Saunders has found his place at the intersection of Jeff Buckley Street and Radiohead Boulevard. Also described as: "With influences such as Joe Meek and Leonard Cohen, Paul Thomas Saunders encapsulates both the psychedelic soundscape and intellectual sentimentality that the sixties graced us with, then wraps it up in a spiraling contemporary shell"
