Paul Cogley is a rock artist and composer who builds worlds with his music. In his debut album, ‘Silent Sea’, the artist casts vivid visuals, expansive soundscapes, modern halos of music that is so refreshing and new. There is so much mystique, contemplation, thought and power. It’s a journey that does not get old because there are so many varieties, so many explorative planes, and emotional moments. Within a single song, you’ll see rock as a genre branch into so many places.
The track, ‘Lies’ opens the album. It begins with classic rock, progressively shifting to psychedelics, folk rock, with notes of modern space electronica. The gradients he forms with guitar play is fantastic.
His vocals are few and far apart, an anchor that ushers you towards the theme. But most of the sensibilities are formed and forged by the instrumental layers. There’s some blues rock, reminiscent of Santana, dazing and intense. Lies upon lies. To create this experience for the listener, he builds the soundscape to hold these illusions, the repercussions, and the feeling. It is quite the introductory project. Shows off Paul’s effortless yet prolific performance and potential. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
