专辑介绍
by William Ruhlmann
As heard on his fourth album, Harpooner, Paul Brill isn't so much a singer/songwriter as a composer, and not so much a composer as a sound collagist. He constructs his musical tracks from snatches of conventional instruments -- piano, bass, oboe, English horn, cello, trumpet -- larded with, as a credit for Joe Bonadio puts it, "percussion, all things beaten and broken." It all sounds like a bunch of kitchen utensils, a couple of alarm clocks, and a music box slowly tumbling down a flight of stairs. To this, Brill adds his voice, singing in a register above his natural one and occasionally breaking into falsetto, phrasing lazily in sing-song melodies as if he were just waking up from a nap. The songs lurch along to ramshackle rhythms as Brill mutters his vague, navel-gazing lyrics, until they stumble to their ends, only to be followed by more of the same.

- @Jason：在2006年的个人第四张也是最新的一张专辑Harpooner中，Paul依然让自己的意识和想法游荡于小众的资源当中。非主流非常规的编排布局，不急不缓的节奏，花样繁多的采样拼接，小情趣的歌词以及仿佛无需旁人喝彩的粗线条风格自哼自唱，都让这张唱片继续上不了主流的台面，也让众多乐评多少诟病于Paul Brill的不求上进。然而独立精神继续支撑其中，自力更生地鼓捣出音乐，若要有意如此孤芳自赏的话，旁人倒也无可厚非吧？更何况其中不乏类似And Go To Sleep…这样声色饱满元素丰富的绝美意识流作品，一首便足够令同好之人做梦三天，小众足矣.。对于一个负责任的音乐人来说，真实，应该是高于一切的。
