Recorded entirely on acoustic instruments,and predominantly performed by Paul,Seven Psalms showcases Simon’s craft at its finest and most captivating, simply with his voice and guitar.Intended to be listened to as one continuous piece, the 33minute,sevenmovement composition transcends the concept of the ‘album.A stunning, intricately layered work, it’s a record which establishesan engaging andmeditative, almost hymnalsoundscape,with Paul’s lyrics providing the gravitational center for constellations of sound woven fromguitarstrings and other acoustic instrumentation – including choral elements from the highlyregarded British vocal ensemble VOCES8, and a beautiful vocal appearance by Edie Brickell.True to the origin of psalms as hymns meant to be sung rather than spoken,Seven Psalmsreaches back to the very genesis of folk music King David’s Psalms. The result is a quietly moving musical experience which uncovers a wealth of subtle details with every repeated listen. A step apart from anything Paul Simon has released before,Seven Psalmsdefies categorization.The record’s tone is complemented by its artwork, which features a closeup extract of ‘Two Owls’ by the celebrated landscape artist Thomas Moran. Paul Simon is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £13 +P&P
