Details:
Escapist Papers is a New York City-based rock band. They blends Beatles-y song-writing, Brian May meets Van Halen guitar playing, and Zeppelin style grooves. Songwriter Benjamin Scheuer sings and plays guitar. He is joined by Geoff Kraly on bass, Vinnie Sperrazza and Josh Dion on drums. Gerry Leonard, who plays guitar with David Bowie and Rufus, plays some guitars on the record.
There are also keyboards, pianos, and other wild noises...
Benjamin grew up in New York, and was sent to boarding school in England at age 16- he’s been escaping ever since.
This record was recorded and produced by Benjamin in
his home recording studio, aided by engineer/guru Peter Denenberg.
It is a record about travel and escapism. The ‘narrator’ first imagines himself on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village, then in Tokyo, Paris and London, the early 20th century, and in the mind of a twisted cabaret singer, only to arrive back at home in himself.
