Paul Marshall is back with a new name, a new, high profile label. (Bella Union)
For all intents and purposes, Lone Wolf completely denies and leaves behind the Paul Marshall of Vultures, as musically, Lone Wolf seems more like a Sufjan Stevens ensemble than the project of a singer-songwriter like Marshall. In many songs, the guitar is not even the central focus. Before analyzing the album, it is worth noting the remarkable transformation Marshall underwent in the past three years, because The Devil and I may have been an uncomfortable, shoddy first album in a new style, but instead, the album emotes confidence and competence, proving Marshall an extremely gifted musician and composer.
For Fans of: Sufjan Stevens, John Grant, Pearly Gate Music
