THIS Is How It Is LOST

After a long wait, the fourth and finest album from Paul Newman (as in, yes, that Paul Newman, the rock band, who are in no way an "emo" band) is good enough to make you cry. Tastefully placed parts swirl in and out of the speaker cones, weaving a nourishing basket of goodies. Though they began in 1996 as primarily an instrumental rock band, each of the seven masterful tracks on THIS is how it is LOST features vocals, adding a new dimension for those familiar with their sound. Six of the seven songs feature vocals from Eddie Robert, who also plays with I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, while the seventh track features Craig McCaffrey, lately also of The American Analog Set.
