An interesting and evocative record, ‘Young Priest’ manages the rare mission of blending folk and Americana stylings with curious, striking electronic sound design, weaving in and out of an already cathartic, poignant record. Penned by Berlin-based troubadour Paul Dill, the record offers an impressive summary of his spiritual, raw vocal prowess, delving into relatable storytelling and metaphorical imagery with charm and confidence.
Accompanied by his trusted acoustic guitar, Dill envisions ‘Young Priest’ as a rather organic offering, the kind of track flourishing on alt-folk nuanced matter and veiled blues and Americana influences. As mentioned above, a few synthetisers dipping in and out of the song make it much more vivid and vibrant – a good hook for making it memorable and timeless.
Anticipating Paul’s upcoming album ‘Courage Is a Curse’, ‘Young Priest’ was produced with fingerstyle guitarist Ivo Vollering. Speaking about the song’s subject matter, Dill explains: “It deals with the different ways of ageing in a humorous way”.
