MANSUN FRONTMAN PAUL DRAPER'S DEBUT SOLO ALBUM IS AVAILABLE VIA KSCOPE
".
His artistic flame has been fully reignited." 8.5/10 The Line Of Best Fit
As the frontman & songwriter of one of the most iconic bands of the late '90s, the creative force that brought the classic hit single "Wide Open Space" & the Number 1 album Attack Of The Grey Lantern' with Mansun, Paul Draper's talent precedes him. Mansun's four albums launched the band into a fervent cult following that has grown & holds an annual convention in the UK in the band's name. 2016 saw Draper's triumphant return with two new EP's to set the Mansun fandom aflame, including industry gatekeepers Steve Lamacq & Chris Hawkins for BBC 6 Music.
He was supported further with playlisting on Radio X, a Q Magazine Track Of The Day, NME Track Of The Week, a feature from The Line Of Best Fit & an exclusive remix from Public Service Broadcasting.
Taking its cue from the two EP's & recorded in collaboration with Catherine AD (The Anchoress) & long-time Mansun collaborator P Dub, the record's eleven tracks also veer through genres, from the warped, razored rock'n'roll in "Grey House" to the glorious widescreen analogue pop of "Jealousy Is A Powerful Emotion". Spooky Action' represents Draper's strongest, most consistent set of songs to date " a lifetime's work condensed into just over an hour of perfectly formed music.
Released in 2017 to critical acclaim, Spooky Action' solidified Paul's position as one of the premier British songwriting talents.
Spooky Action' is available on CD with a 16-page booklet & artwork by Steve Stacey, whose previous work includes Calvin Harris, Manic Street Preachers, Circa Waves & Lou Reed.Description

Spooky Action will be released in early August, preceding a sold-out headline UK tour, featuring the glistening syntheticsoul single "Things People Want" and warped voodoo psych grat-track "Don't Poke The Bear".
