"Spring has been a bit of a sonic chameleon with his elegantly understated series of solo offerings to date."
"Richly realized songs with deft lyrics and considered sensibility"
"Paul Spring's high guileless voice comes in swirls and artful smears"
"Paul Spring's floaty falsetto vocal, reminiscent of some long-lost Beach Boy, produces a sound that's like a salve."
"Meshing 90's pop music and Bach, musician Paul Spring is "Always Almost Home.""
Spring takes his cue from the pretty falsetto vocals of The Stylistics, inflecting his own folk-y vocal twist."
Paul Spring is a songwriter and guitarist based in New York City. He has released 7 albums in the last 5 years ranging from classical and folk to electronic. In 2021 he released J.S. Bach 12 String Transcriptions, supporting it with a 2 year long weekly residency in Manhattan’s Burp Castle. Between 2023’s Always Almost Home “meshing 90s pop and Bach” (MPR) and the “hidden pop gem” (Irish Times) of 2022ʼs Thunderhead, Spring experimented with minimal electronic production and folk. Aquarium Drunkard called his album, 2024’s River Flows Two Ways, “a singular fresh offering as well as a catalogue introduction of sorts.” It accompanied a canoe tour down the Hudson River. In 2024 and 2025 he recorded Kind of Heaven and Dumb and Free with drummer and co-producer Jon Nellen. In the summer of 2025, Paul put out an album of original music entirely in Classical Latin entitled Vita Brevis. He has also appeared as a session guitarist and co-writer on Blackthought and El Michels Affair’s Glorious Game, and his guitar playing was sampled on releases by Kenny Beats, Vic Mensa, Sofia Valdez, and Kirby.
