Paul Baribeau- Unbearable

Here it is, probably late among my blog comrades but I'm not running for exlusivity.
I took some time to listen to it. I try to avoid the comparaison with Grand Ledge but I can't. Such an awesome record.
I love "how could that be true" , the way he sings "give me all...give me all ..." and the way it comes back in the song.
I find the voice more mellow (softer), a little more high pitched too. There are lots of long lasting syllables if you know what I mean ala "Blue cool" song. Not that I really dislike it, but its less punchy.
The guitar chords are still efficient, like "Black Strat" is, but I have harder time to get a crush on Unbearable.

Yo get into it!

Yo buy it!

Paul Baribeau - demo tape (09)

Haha, what the hell is that design. I think he printed shirts with that.

Here are 6 songs, a little something to wait for the soon-to-come new record by Paul Baribeau.(Harvest of hope? No idea? Plan it x?)
Grand ledge, his last effort, is highly responsible for my needle record going thin. Once again, everything just good, I can't explain but when I'm listenning to P. Baribeau it's relaxing me in the way i feel safe and that I'll always be able to remember, friends, comrades, happiness, life... Yeah, posi but I think thats the beauty of it, right?

Yo get into it!

Paul Baribeau- St(2004) & Grand Ledge (2007)

So spring is back! And here I am, back in Lyon after two awesome hollidays' weeks!

Paul Baribeau, Michigan songwriter, is a gound soundtrack to go trough a lot of emotions.
The first album was supposed to be just demo songs. He recorded 14 tracks in one night for Chris of Plan it x records.
All of his songs are just him and his guitar, no tricks!
Grand ledge
I'll quote a line to describe him: "Paul Baribeau is pure childish-ness in the greatest sense of the word. If you ever take the time to observe little ones, then you will quickly see that little kids experiences the purest and rawest form of each emotion whether it be love, anger, joy, peace, or disappointment" Thats pretty much it. There is so much things in songs like brow brown brow in his demo album or like bells on grand ledge that i can repeat them 10 times, so my girlfriend is now singing with me!
I really like whats the man is reflecting, a great aura.
Enjoy.
