Above as Below, Scotland On Sunday, 22 September 2024
Formerly a member of Snow Patrol, Paul Wilson returns to his Highland roots with dark yet melodic project Above as Below, write Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss read on Scotsman.com
Above as Below is the fantastic new solo project from ex-Snow Patrol member Paul Wilson - a key member and multi-instrumentalist in the group for 20 years. At the beginning of the pandemic, he swapped a fast-paced LA lifestyle for the tranquility of the Scottish Highlands (near where he’s from) and began writing and recording from his home studio as Above as Below.
He’s also performed in bands like Lieutenant with Foo Fighters’ Nate Mendel, and recorded with acts including Film School, featuring Colm O’ Ciosoig from My Bloody Valentine.
Wilson left Snow Patrol in 2023 to pursue a DIY new musical path. As the sole member of Above as Below, he writes, performs, produces, and mixes all songs, creates the artwork, and distributes records from his Highland base via his own label, Unearned Wisdom Records.
He’s secured airplay on BBC Radio 1, Amazing Radio and featured in Rolling Stone. Dark, yet melodic, Terra Nova is released on 12 October, offering a glimpse of a brilliant, heavy newfound musical direction see https://linktr.ee/pabloaboveasbelow
