Paul Dixon - Geometrical Lines

It’s alright kids; you can come out from behind the sofa. This isn’t another math-rock influenced record - this is a tight groove, made all the more impressive by an impressive drumming performance from Dixon’s band. What he’s on about, however, isn’t so clearly defined, seemingly about a man who, well, loves geometrical lines. ‘He only works in angles and ratios’, apparently. Perhaps he’s an engineer.

Whatever’s going on lyrically, however, Dixon’s voice is impressive in singing it, sounding like a more nasal, Estuary version of Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Unlike Levine, however, Dixon is well worth keeping an eye on, as if his future output can match the quality of this offering, we could well be seeing the emergence of 2008’s Jamie T, albeit more tuneful.
