About Me

April & I released March 12th on Raygun Records
Like a firework falling slowly from the sky,
The pain was all theirs and the pleasure all mine
Then suddenly it came to me, Im the one whos imaginary,
I guess all good things are make-believe

'April & I' is the dark symphonic musical tale of a loser kid and his imaginary friend on their quest to grow up trouble free. Follow the pair as they meet up, beat the amino acids out of the school bully, make vain attempts to score with girls, get high at a mental Scottish house party, and eventually grow up and away from each other.
Composed and recorded in a smelly student flat in Kemptown, Brighton, in Summer 2006 by a teenage Paul Steel, 'April & I' features additional vocals from Kate Walsh and the Little Tiny Bill Symphonic Choir.
'April & I' is an epic journey gently nudging you through the three primary human emotions: Happy, Sad and Stoned...
So pour a glass of your favourite Rioja, close the curtains, dim the lights, and give twenty-seven minutes to something beautiful and bizarre.
