Paul Murphy Band at the legendary Spiral Lounge, NYC back in July 20, 1999. Paul leads a quartet with keyboards, bass, and drums as he sings and wails on the guitar. Smooth alt jazz singer and all around musician Paul Murphy lays out some incredible pop songs to enhance his new release “I Smell Witches.”
Who is Paul Murphy Band
Paul Murphy reveals himself to be a decorated graduate of the school of pop. With a thick, throaty voice that bespeaks countless nights of revelry, Murphy spits out sharply observed witticisms that camouflage heartfelt emotions. He’s backed by a hard-hitting, no-frills trio equally adept at spinning out perfect power-pop (“When the Soul Divides”) and fevered, Elvis Costello-ish rock (the title cut on On I SMELL WITCHES ).
Murphy’s lyrical gift is suited equally for trenchant character studies (“Poor Carmine“) and black humor (the eminently quotable couplet “Christmas comes but once a year/Aren’t you glad you’re not Christmas?”). The key element of I SMELL WITCHES, though, is Murphy’s way with a hook; on nearly every song he tosses off simple, elegant pop melodies that sound as effortless and natural as breathing.
