http://cdbaby.com/cd/pariskingband http://cdbaby.com/cd/pariskingband'Paris King made magic out of poetry, soul-stirring song craft, and funky beats.''...exactly the kind of music program directors and major labels don't want you to know exists.' -Eric K. Arnold, Bay Guardian'Warm, pensive, genuine, playful with many subtleties...appealing to all senses.''The sound of life today and tomorrow.' -Rico Garfunkel, Defunkt Magazine'At times so minimal, you hardly know it's there, but then suddenly it creeps up with electronics that converge in a scream.' -Amanda Nowinski, Bay Guardian'And music for guitar, bass and percussion composed and played by Paris King enhanced the drama.' -Jack Anderson, N.Y. Times'sampling beats and clutching an acoustic guitar that he held like a Brazilian folk singer, with the neck up high and his fingers crooked delicately over the strings. At first, it was a bit shocking; who melds loose, folksy songwriting with dance beats? Was it awful, or was he a genius? Yet the music had such a strong afterglow that by the end of each song you anxiously awaited the next. King is an acquired taste that will grow on you.' -Katy St.Claire, East Bay Express
