Everything So Far

LP version. Milky white vinyl. Liverpool's Paul Den Heyer: after auditioning for Magazine and Spizz Energi and playing in a string of local bands, his initial fifteen minutes finally came in the '90s with Fishmonkeyman. Probably best known for the indie-hit "If I've Told You Once" which led to deals with Warner Bros. And Virgin Music and put the band on TV, radio, and the road. More recently known as producer for Sunstack Jones and member of The Red Sided Garter Snakes with ex-members of The Chameleons, Bauer, Puressence, and Inspiral Carpets. Everything So Far is the first release under his own name, made with the help of good friends and featuring songs recorded in summertime on the leisure peninsula. With hints to Mojave 3 or Mazzy Star, with The Byrds even shining through, Paul Den Heyer creates moody acoustic landscapes and melodic miniatures with fantastic harmonies and a rich set of instrumentation. He describes the style as "Britanicana" and indeed his music blends British folk songwriting with '60s/'70s American psych-pop.
