Briery Gap is proud to announce Paul Spring "Kind of Heaven" 2025 Tour.
Paul Spring’s new album Kind of Heaven was recorded live over two days in June 2024. Joined by drummer Jon Nellen (Nick Hakim, Big Thief, Sister Ray), the songs were captured promptly and energetically by live tracking vocals and committing to the performances. With only a few overdubs (bass and electric guitar), the intention was to capture the spirit of the songs and accept any mistakes. The 10 songs on the album range from heartfelt acoustic ballads to open tuning Celtic guitar arrangements and Bach inspired counterpoint. The album’s only guest, Nick Hakim, adds a beautiful meandering piano performance to “I’d be Lying.” That song, and many others on the album, express lyrics that walk the ever present line between gratitude and longing.
Paul Spring has released 4 albums in the past 2 years. Between 2023’s Always Almost Home “meshing 90s pop and Bach” (MPR) and the “hidden pop gem” (Irish Times) of 2022ʼs Thunderhead, Spring experimented with minimal electronic production and folk. Aquarium Drunkard called his album, 2024’s River Flows Two Ways, “a singular fresh offering as well as a catalogue introduction of sorts.” His most recent album ‘Kind of Heaven’ was recorded live over 2 days with producer and drummer Jon Nellen (Big Thief, Elucid, Nick Hakim) and features Nick Hakim on piano.
