Paul & The Patients may not yet have a full length record, but look closely at their last year and you'll see a prolific songwriter in Paul Holmes. Aside from a 5 song EP released in mid 2009, Paul & The Patients have been self-releasing a song a week for the past 15 weeks. It's no easy task, and what has made this song-a-week problem so remarkable is the level of songs coming out of it. Each of these songs are gems.
To celebrate the 15 week mark, the band and their label American Myth Recordings put together a 5 song sampler of some of the best recordings to come out of the project. "Tiny Red Light," "Sensitive," "Best Of Me," "The Best of People, The Worst of Things," and "Bartending" do a great job at acting as highlights, but don't for a second think that these are the only songs worth hearing.
Recent additions "Second Hand Smoke" and "Twenty Seven" are probably my personal favorites from the series.
