Info zu Figure in a Landscape

The second studio album from Paul Thomas Saunders. Self-produced and recorded in his old spare room, Figure In A Landscape by Paul Thomas Saunders is an album of epic pop-rock bedecked with rich sonic textures and huge euphoric climaxes. Belying the soft-spoken person behind the songs, this album is panoramic and widescreen, reminiscent of a camera hitched to an aeroplane capturing the sweeping, always-altering landscapes below.

Saunders’ 2014 album Beautiful Desolation released on Atlantic, and garnered praise from critics at The Guardian, Line of Best Fit, and The Times. With a strong backing on his creative capabilities, it is with no doubt Saunders will return to the warmest welcome – and a brand new fan base ready to embrace his music in all that it is.

Paul Thomas Saunders seemed to disappear from the music scene after his debut album in 2014 – but a surprise invite from Vernon himself to perform at the Forbidden Fruit Festival in 2018 helped Saunders to rediscover the value in his work. With the conception of his upcoming album, he now celebrates an incredibly special return to the scene.

Paul Thomas Saunders
Producer, sonic architect, Singer and songwriter Paul Thomas Saunders possesses an emotive, high-register singing voice that reveals his origins as a trained choir singer. It is instantly recognizable. He originally hails from Leicester, but began writing and playing music in earnest while attending college in Leeds, his permanent base of operations.

Using just his guitar, a microphone, and a computer, his home-recorded solo debut EP, Four Songs in Twilight, appeared in 2010. It was subsequently released three times by three different labels. Saunders began working with a live group of like-minded musicians known as the Fever Dreams, and secured opening gigs for acts like Low, Blue Roses, Patrick Watson, Forest Fire, and Villagers. Due to a burgeoning local reputation for riveting live performances, he earned an opening slot at the Leeds Live music festival, where he came to widespread attention of critics from the British music weeklies.

His second EP, Lilac & Wisteria was issued in 2011 to almost universally positive reviews. He signed to Atlantic in early 2012, and issued another home-recorded EP, Descartes Highlands, at the end of the year. Saunders spent most of 2013 touring and recording his debut for the label. The long-player Beautiful Desolation was released in April of 2014.
