Paul Steel - Moon Rock

Paul Steel returns this summer with a new album Moon Rock and an animated movie version of his of critically acclaimed debut album April & I.

After releasing his debut album as a limited edition in 2007 he signed to Polydor where he recorded his second album Moon Rock with Tony Hoffer in LA. After a number of live dates at Fuji Rock and V along with supports with Sean Ono Lennon, The Bee's, Electric Soft Parade, Amy Winehouse, Ed Harcourt, and Cornelius Paul then parted with Polydor to go it alone.

With his newfound freedom Paul is experiencing an Indian summer and will release his new album, Moon Rock along with an animated movie for April & I on July 20th 2009.

Moon Rock is brimming with fizzy, contemporary pop songs that is by turns charming, magnetic, whimsical and (without being all 'oh-look-at-me-I'm-hilarious') extremely funny. "There are more conventional songs in the new album," Paul says, "but it's still not your standard rock stuff. I tried to make sure I was using influences without exploiting them."
Standout tracks include In A Coma, written by Paul in a San Diego Zoo about a person who heroically saves a girl from being hit by a taxi. "It's all about the frustration of being in a coma while the girl you saved is by your bedside falling in love with you, but you can't do anything with it because you're all asleep and shit."
