Paper Beat Scissors Brings New Album to NB this Fall

Parallel Line, Tim Crabtree’s third full-length album, will be released September 13 via Forward Music Group.

In support of this, his third full-length album, Paper Beat Scissors embarks on an extensive tour which includes full band performances (backed by Thanya Iyer, Michael Belyea, and Alex Kasirer Smibeer) and solo performances – some in support of Rose Cousins – across Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic, the UK, and Canada.

Mixed by heavyweights Sandro Perri and Dean Nelson (Beck), Parallel Line centres Tim Crabtree’s arresting vocal work and reflective lyrical palette to stunning effect. Each song’s movement is threaded by gorgeous string arrangements performed by Montreal’s Warhol Dervish String Quartet, weaving an emotional core to the record.

Parallel Line reaches to far-off wonderment and far-in feelings with ease and explores all the mess and complexity inherent in our day-to-day existence with a quiet, wide-eyed vulnerability. At its centre sits a question: how is our sense of self strung within a multitude of people, places, experiences?
