Sehr viel Herz
"Deep. Deep. So Deep! Paper Beat Scissors und der freie Fall in die Tiefen des Feingefühls. Irgendwo zwischen sprachlosen Zeitlupen und dem unerträglichen Drang für etwas Aussichtsloses in den Kampf zu ziehen. Wir freuen uns auf das kommende Album. Herz, sehr viel Herz. Gut so." Hauskonzerte.com
Echtes Highlight
"Diese Stimme! Über gezupften Akustikgitarren und hypnotischen Loops im musikalischen Dreieck Radiohead, Sigur Rós und The Notwist entfaltet sie sich ganz einzigartig. Wer Tim Crabtree mit seiner Band Paper Beat Scissors in der stilvollen Fachwerk-Bauerntenne nicht zuhört, verpasst ein echtes Herbsthighlight." Germany Events
One for the books
"Three years have passed since the release of this first album, that’s a lot of time to grow as a musician. Judging by how awesome the band’s performance was last week, I’d safely confirm that Paper Beat Scissors is poised for great things. During his live show, Tim Crabtree mentioned possibly making another record this summer. By firmly supporting his great songwriting gift through use of the awesome power his current line-up conjures up on stage, I sincerely believe Crabtree’s Paper Beat Scissors’ sophomore record will be one for the books." Replicant Ears
An Interview
"Melancholy seems an odd apparatus for the eternally optimistic Crabtree but his music pulls together the beautiful, catchy, and forlorn feelings of his home country in a very exciting way. He has spent more than a year touring Canada and Europe gaining praise and fans along the way and is already beginning work on his sophomore record. The future is bright, after recently being signed to German label, Ferryhouse, and releasing a live 7 inch, Paper Beat Scissors is set to tour Canada in the coming weeks. I caught up with Tim Crabtree at his home in Halifax, NS." Southern Souls
Collaborations
"Halifax indie-folk act Paper Beat Scissors teams up with Nova Sinfonia for a special orchestral show at Faith Tabernacle in Halifax on Monday. The brainchild of British-born musician Tim Crabtree, Paper Beat Scissors has recently been involved in a Canada Council project to develop orchestrations, collaborated with New York-based percussionist Thomas Kozumplik and is due to perform with Academy Award-nominated and Polaris Prize-winning musician Owen Pallett in Moncton."
