Paul Draper EP Two [EP]

2016 CD EP. Paul Draper was the frontman, main songwriter and producer of Mansun - one of the most iconic bands of the '90s. Released in June earlier this year, EP One, was supported by industry gatekeepers happy to see Mansun's frontman make a return to the scene. The first track from EP Two, "Friends Make The Worst Enemies", is a knock-out punch of a track; five minutes of relentless chasmic melody and melancholy - an immediate reminder of why Paul's songs were rarely far from the FM dial during his former band Mansun's supernova career, co-written and featuring The Anchoress following their collaboration successes on EP One and Catherine's solo album Confessions of a Romance Novelist. The following tracks: "Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid", is a spacious ballad recorded on guitar and piano; "Don't You Wait, It Might Never Come" is a ramped up, surging rock 'n' roll song; and the last track is a bare bones acoustic version of "Friends Make The Worst Enemies".
