Galen & Paul

Description:

Debut release from the duo of Paul Simnon and Galen Ayers! Paul Simnon found great inspiration during the Corona Lockdown, a year and a half of songwriting, painting, and collaborating with local musicians on the Spanish island of Majorca. Returning to London, he further developed ideas and did more songwriting with a friend, singer/songwriter Galen Ayers. The resulting album, duetted with Paul and guided by Galen's gorgeous voice singing in English and Spanish, is a superb pop album, incorporating French chanson, Spanish pop, and English sea shanties. Produced by Tony Visconti, who has worked with David Bowie and many other greats. The band consists of Simon Tong (The Verve, The Good, The Bad and The Queen), Sebastian Rockford (Polar Bear, David Byrne, Patti Smith), and Dan Donovan (Big Audio Dynamite), with Damon Albarn on many songs. joined in on melodica playing.
