Artist: Roland, Paul
Label: Cherry Red
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 5013929168336
Genre: Rock
Two CD collection. Paul has been called "The male Kate Bush" by one-time label mate Robyn Hitchcock and "the Edgar Allen Poe of psychpop" by several European rock magazines/critics. First under the guise of Midnight Rags and then as a solo artist, Paul Roland has carved an elegant, mysterious niche as the quintessential cult English songwriter. His music hints at psychedelia while his lyrics frequently offer a sense of the macabre, drawing on Victoriana and classic horror fiction. Compiled and curated by the artist, In The Opium Den is a comprehensive anthology of Paul's early works, including his first three albums plus A and B sides, EP tracks and unreleased tracks from the period, spanning his output up until 1987.
