Intimität und Ausbrüche
"Die Essenz zwischenmenschlicher (Liebes-) Beziehungen hat der Regisseur Derek Branscombe aus Montreal auf ästhetisch sehr anspruchsvolle Art und Weise ins Musikvideo zu 'Lawless', der neuen Single von Tim Crabtree alias Paper Beat Scissors, gepackt. Der Song selbst passt sich den Bildern natürlich nahtlos an – ruhige Momente von großer Intimität wechseln sich ab mit kraftvollen Ausbrüchen, über all dem schwebt die sanfte Stimme von Tim Crabtree. 'Lawless' ist zugleich ein Vorgeschmack auf das kommende Album von Paper Beat Scissors. 'Let Go' erscheint am 14. August (Forward Music Group), eine Tour durch Österreich und Deutschland folgt in der ersten Oktoberhälfte. Und nun: Fünf Minuten Zeit nehmen, zurücklehnen und genießen!" Der Buchbube
Breathtaking
"Crabtree's sophomore album builds on the ideas found in his self-titled 2012 debut. Musically, there's similarly dramatic instrumentation at work, but Go On's sound is much fuller, exploring sonic territory only teased at before: the skittery electronics of 'When You Still' is unlike anything heard from Crabtree, while standout 'Enough' layers a bright guitar and an electronic drum beat with his distinctly hoarse vocals, which makes the album sound more unfiltered, from the heart. Go On is a demonstration of Crabtree's unique ability to use classical and electronic elements to blur the lines of folk music and leave you breathless." Exclaim.ca
Stunning achievement
"At 40 minutes long, Paper Beat Scissors’ sophomore full-length has the ability to stretch so much further. Tim Crabtree’s ethereal vocals are the highlight of much of the stunning chamber folk, which builds remarkably well through 10 tracks. (...) Go On is a stunning achievement for a criminally underappreciated artist." NOW
Arousing
"Paper Beat Scissors’ new album is a great choice for a rainy day when one is lured to the comfort of a favourite resting spot. It rouses the senses and leaves an appealing aftertaste on the palate. Go On is sure to become one that refuses to collect dust on the shelf." Canadian Beats
Gentle reminder
"In everyone’s life there comes a time to confront truth. Paper Beat Scissors newest 'Lawless' is gentle reminder that when things get rough it’s time to take a step back and breathe. Vocalist Tim Crabtree’s raw whisper syncs into harmony with the ghostly pluck of a lonely guitar. As the song continues, a sudden silence envelopes creating a moment of wonder before exploding into powerful strums and exhilarating percussion. Crabtree’s lull quickly molds into a shivering belt that unbinds you from the weight you carry." Extreme Nonchalance
