about

“This isn’t merely indie folk music: Paper Beat Scissors is a genuine work of effortless art.” – Pop Matters (USA)

“Crabtree’s more than one to watch, he’s one to listen to, now.” – Americana UK

“…potent enough for an otherworld experience.” – CBC

SLEEVE NOTES

to Halifax for convincing me to stay

to Nathan Sutherland for keeping me in the country

There are so many people without whom this album would not have been possible. So many who inspired, so many who worked on it, so many who just kept me going before, during and after. I want to give them their due, but there is far too little space here, so I've set up a page of the website to say a proper thank you. I am a lucky pup - thank you all.

about

The Paper Beat Scissors live show is an intense and intimate experience – solo finger-picked laments are paired with live loops and a haunting voice that slips into the music, then darts back out to pull the listener in. 2012 has seen European and Canadian tours and the release of the debut album, produced by Mike Feuerstack (Snailhouse, Bell Orchestre) and mixed by Arcade Fire's Jeremy Gara ... more
