Description:

Paul Simon, who has consistently crafted some of the most influential and enduring work in the history of music, has announced the release of his highly anticipated musical work, Seven Psalms. Intended to be listened to as one continuous piece, the 33-minute, seven-movement composition transcends the concept of the â??album" and will be released in its entirety on vinyl, CD and across digital platforms. Recorded entirely on acoustic instruments, and predominantly performed by Paul, Seven Psalms showcases Simonâ??s craft at its finest and most captivating, simply with his voice and guitar. A stunning, intricately layered work, itâ??s a record which establishes an engaging and meditative, almost hymnal soundscape, with Paulâ??s lyrics providing the gravitational center for constellations of sound woven from guitar strings and other acoustic instrumentation â?? including choral elements from the highly-regarded 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 Psalms reaches back to the very genesis of folk music: King Davidâ??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 Psalms defies categorization. The recordâ??s tone is complemented by its artwork, which features a close-up extract of â??Two Owlsâ? by the celebrated landscape artist Thomas Moran. Produced by Paul Simon and Kyle Crusham, Seven Psalms is a single suite of music. -

Seven Psalms is the latest studio album of original material from Paul Simon and his first in seven years since 2016's Stranger To Stranger. Conceived more as a continuous piece of music in seven segments as opposed to seven individual songs, the album is primarily acoustic with Paul playing guitar, keyboards, and percussion with occasional support by strings and backing vocals.
