Paul Brill has kept exceptionally busy since his last recording, Harpooner, was released – composing dozens of scores for award-winning films, tv and radio series, producing and remixing other artists, and collaborating with artists as varied as U2, Dead Prez and Martha Waignwright.

Now, five years after the release of the widely acclaimed Harpooner (4-Stars, Paste Magazine), Brill returns full-time to the pop/rock sounds of his earlier work, in some ways a response to his dark, textured film work and the dense collage work of Harpooner, with a lighter and swifter touch on his latest full-length recording, Breezy.  The new record was recorded live and features Brill’s 12-piece working band – whose members have performed and recorded with Radiohead, Yoko Ono, David Bowie, Bjork, Wilco, and even Frank Sinatra, and was mixed by Pat Dillett (David Byrne/Brian Eno, Mary J. Blige, Soul Coughing, Meat Puppets, Biggie Smalls). 

Paul has received 3 Emmy Award nominations for his scores for the films, “Full Battle Rattle” (National Geographic), “The Devil Came on Horseback” (Break Thru Films), and “The Trials of Darryl Hunt” (HBO), which was hailed by Variety as “memorably chilling, sounding notes of purest dread.” Young American Recordings recently released the Hunt soundtrack, curated by Brill, featuring selections from his score and contributions by Andrew Bird, M. Ward, Califone, The Last Poets, Dead Prez, and Mark Kozelek among many others.

Brill recently collaborated with Rock legends U2 on the HBO film, “Burma Soldier,” composing a new string arrangement for an acoustic version of their classic song, “Walk On.”  He scored the hit documentary, “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work” (IFC), the recently released “Page One: Inside the NY Times” (Magnolia), as well as Christy Turlington Burns’ directorial debut, “No Woman, No Cry” (OWN), on which he collaborated with songwriter Martha Waignwright, and the film adaptation of the best-selling book, “Freakonomics” (Magnolia Pictures).
