<\/a><\/p>\nPaperweights<\/strong> (CRC Records<\/em>)<\/p>\n With his sophomore album, the wonderful \u201cPaperweights\u201d, Dorset born Andrew Panes proves himself and his work worthy of notice and places him firmly in the \u201cOne To Watch\u201d category. While the \u201cclassical folk\u201d category typically gets the short shrift with connoisseurs, that could be down to the overarching diary entry style most artists deliver. Panes may not be the happiest bloke on the pebbles, yet he communicates his longing with the kind of powerful imagery that speaks volumes. The elegiac \u201cWater Over Fire\u201d threatens to evaporate into thin air, only a distant, tinkling piano figure providing a tiny beacon in the mix. The psychedelic sway of \u201cSummer Thunder\u201d with its muted trumpet and diaphanous curtain of sound is mesmerizing. Panes\u2019 voice is a honeyed treat, rising at just the right times into a subtle falsetto to distil the mood perfectly. There is a quietness here that doesn\u2019t drag you into some kind of miasmatic undertow; more considered that than the banalities of some of his peers. Every intricate note bears fruit and with \u201cPaperweights\u201d the 27-year-old Roo Panes should be considered top of his class.
