About Me

Tagas was formed 6 years ago after Paul made the move from Hertfordshire down to Totnes in Devon UK. Paul had previously collaborated on a music venture whilst living in Hertfordshire, but took the opportunity of the move to start working on his first solo project and - as a result of many late nights sat infront of the computer - gave birth to Tagas.The music of Tagas is deeply personal, whilst at the same time touching on universal themes of loss, heartache, lonliness and love. Tagas has been kept a creative secret to all but the closet people in Paul's life, but after some encouragement from a few good individuals, Tagas has been given a place (here on this page) to connect with anyone that treads a similar path.

Sounds Like: "Totnes based TAGAS, aka Paul Dawson, opts for the downbeat electro-pop route, where digi-bleeps and silky shards of synth are softened by Dawson's feathery, Neil Tennant-like croon. If you're searching for an 80's vibration re-imagined through modern methodology, look no further". 247 Magazine. September 2008. "Imagine being trapped in an 80's arcade game, in a dream like state, tetris blocks falling all around, then you can picture the sound of TAGAS aka Paul Dawson. His wispy vocals and layered drumbeats, take you to a far away place. An electro revival of a classic 80's sound, brought to life with 21st century technology." GO2 Magazine. April 2009.
