Intended to be listened to as one continuous piece, the 33-minute, seven-movement composition transcends the concept of the “album\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA stunning, intricately layered work, it’s a record which establishes an engaging and meditative, almost hymnal soundscape, with Paul’s lyrics providing the gravitational center for constellations of sound woven from guitar strings and other acoustic instrumentation – including choral elements from the highly-regarded British vocal ensemble VOCES8, and a beautiful vocal appearance by Edie Brickell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrue to the origin of psalms as hymns meant to be sung rather than spoken, \u003cem\u003eSeven Psalms\u003c\/em\u003e reaches back to the very genesis of folk music: King David’s Psalms. The result is a quietly moving musical experience which uncovers a wealth of subtle details with every repeated listen.
