Ahead of his upcoming London gig (31st January), watch British-born Tim Crabtree (better known as Paper Beat Scissors) performing Wszystkiego Najlepszego in his Montreal studio. “There’s such emotion caught in the song, such yearning, that it just transcended the fact I couldn’t understand a single word” says Crabtree.

If there’s a question that remains it’s whether one really needs a Spanish language version of songs from Parallel Line. The answer: The magic is in the music and that has always been there with Paper Beats Scissors and it’s there in La Mitad.

Watch the video for ‘Formas’, the new single from Paper Beat Scissors which forms a selection of Spanish-language songs from his 2019 album Parallel Line titled La Mitad, due for release next month.

With Parallel Line, Tim Crabtree challenges listeners to hear the music that exists within the notes, in the process re-examining who we are and what we think.

Watch the accompanying video for ‘Shapes’, the new single from Paper Beat Scissors, taken from his forthcoming new album ‘Parallel Line’ which is due for release this month on Forward Music Group.

Paper Beat Scissors has just recorded a great session for Bob Harris’ Under The Apple Tree sessions. Watch the first song from that performance called ‘Shapes’. He is currently on tour in the UK supporting the release of his new album ‘Go On’, one of our Featured Albums of the Month.

We have a new Lost in Transmission mix featuring some of our favourites: Aldous Harding, Dawn Landes & Piers Facini, M.G. Boulter, Paper Beat Scissors, Annie Fleming & Viking Moses, Trembling Bells, Yorkston Thorne Khan and more.

It penetrates your conscious on the first listen and unfolds as all its glorious fecundity comes flooding to the surface. A folk-pop-ambient-electronica soup of loveliness.

Our Song of the Day is via a new video for ‘Lawless’, the 2nd single from Paper Beat Scissors‘ sophomore album Go On. A meditation on the ways we can delude ourselves and others without realising.

Tim Crabtree has an unforgettable voice, one that forms the signature sound and core essence of Paper Beat Scissors, now you have the chance to catch him on his UK Tour from August.

Exclusive interview with Tim Crabtree as the official UK and European release of the album from Paper Beat Scissors (Album of the Month) sees him returning to these shores to tour and record a BBC session.
