Paul Bergmann
For some time, Paul has been writing and singing as if from a vantage point far into the future; as though uncovering rather than composing his own body of work. To date, his thirteen releases have ranged broadly across the landscape of the indie singer-songwriter. Early work in folk-pop, recorded while signed with Fairfax Recordings, has found its way into TV and film, but to dip into Paul’s work at random is to discover many different versions of the same artist. This scruffy folk punk, electro-piano torch crooner, analog psychedelian, and, occasionally, strident Neil Young disciple par excellence has crisscrossed the country in concert in support of one project or another, opening for the likes of Angel Olsen and Lou Barlow, selling out the historic Cairo Jazz Club in Egypt. Such peregrinations have concretized Paul’s thematic obsessions of the years: the life, and death, of the Creative; human desire; aging; the follies and false promises of stature and fame. In his relentless oeuvre-building, Paul has amassed an especially articulate kind of existentialism: what it means to persist, and to create, in a world which dies in the near distance. In No Masters in Paradise, the form of the songwriter’s ballad, in the hands of an expert, is turned inward for comfort, resisting the base lure of worldly approval.
The Tines
The Tines are a New Haven, CT based outfit helmed by songwriter and producer S.G. Carlson. The band was formed as a recording project in 2020 featuring Ilya Gitelman of Ports of Spain, J Thompson of Laundry Day and Daniprobably, and Sean Koravo of Ryxno. They play cleverly crafted indie rock that focuses on the balance of tension and beauty.
The Tines released their first EP, The Enemy Is Listening (Free As Birds Records) in 2020, and made their live debut in 2021. The Tines teamed up with Funnybone Records in the summer of 2022 to release their debut self-titled record.
They’ve since appeared at the New Haven Arts and Ideas Festival, The Thing In Spring, and Limb Snapping, and have shared stages with The Huntress and Holder of Hands, Mikaela Davis, Lee Ronaldo, Acid Dad, and Hector Gannet. As a solo artist, S.G. Carlson has appeared on bills with the likes of Andy Shauf, Michael Nau, Erin Durant, and Shaun Rowe.
