Artist description:Under the moniker Paper Beat Scissors Tim Crabtree constructs delicate and intricate tapestries of songs. Their complexity both belies and serves their simple aim: to create a point of emotional connection and communication with the listener; To hold a space to disappear, briefly, inside the spells they cast. The start point for Paper Beat Scissors was a desire to reproduce the catharsis Crabtree felt as a teenager getting lost in melancholy Radiohead songs or Michael Stipe’s blurry incantations on early REM records – artists whose seeming isolation was at the heart of the creation of its opposite: a true connection with their audience. The intimate eponymous 2012 debut (mixed by Arcade Fire drummer Jeremy Gara) sparked BBC sessions and appearances on Rolling Stone cover CDs. The electronically-flecked follow-up Go On was sandwiched between orchestral explorations – a symphony performance in Nova Scotia that spurred a 2018 project crisscrossing Canada performing with local chamber ensembles. The 2019 album Parallel Line zoomed back in to a core of acoustic guitar and string quartet. Ultimately, leave him alone with just his voice and a guitar and the connection comes through clean and true.
