Paul Sentz says: "I grew up in the small town of Warrenton Virginia.
Started playing guitar around 15 and started my first band with my twin brother and cousin. We played mostly covers and funny enough we used to play R.E.M's Find The River and It's The End Of The World As We Know It.
I moved to Boston at age 20 and studied music in college where I then co-founded our band This Car Up thiscarup.bandcamp.com. That lasted for about four years until things sort of fell apart. I then started a solo project called Slowdim. We released one full length album and played many shows in NYC and Boston. I moved to Charlottesville VA in 2016 where I currently reside and am working on writing a solo EP.
"I chose Half a World Away because it's a simply beautiful song. The lyrics are very relatable and just slightly abstract enough. The melody gives me a sense of sincere reflection and thoughtfulness. I was around the age of thirteen when Out Of Time was released and listened to that album a whole bunch. It's just a classic record that will always be in my rotation."
It’s pure Paisley Pop bliss on this vinyl reissue of a lost ’80s college rock cult classic, with jangly guitars and plaintive melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 16, 2023

Jo Bevan is one of the best singers in modern rock. The band is tight and talented and does some nifty post-punky style stuff. This album has some exceptional songs on it. rick-taylor
