Shadows & Flames (Early Works: The Adams Arc 2)

by Paul Shapera

supported by

Mladen Breathtakingly beautiful and so artistic while very reminiscent of the rock influences on Paul's work.

This is my go-to album for chilling at night when I'm alone. Favorite track: Anvils.

hellomynameisinserthere Listening to David's journey really informs you on his later decisions and is a great trip. Also, not a bad bop. Favorite track: Anvils.

lord_steam Love this album I couldn't pick a favorite of all of your albums but I love this one. You say it's rough and It kinda is but It is still amazing. Favorite track: Anvils.

Isaac Sattler This might not have been an album you originally planned on releasing, but it is certainly an amazing one. Favorite track: Anvils.

about

This is a really early album that i would never, ever have released. But. It was my best friend Shaun Rolly's favorite album for some inexplicable reason. He died last week and he IM'd me a few hours beforehand, asking me to release this. I would have completely ignored it, but now it's a last request. So... i charge nothing for it. It's rough. Seriously. It's an early work. It's a snapshot of a young, developing artist.

about

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

These days the teddy bear picnic is a rather somber affair. They mostly just sit together in silence. The beings who had taken these guises had over time lost all recollection of their origins, purpose, or selves. They only know they are someplace foreign, cut off from whatever homeland they once had, utterly alone in an incomprehensible world. Some picnics they listen to Paul Shapera. ... more

HNOC is such a superb album! At first I wasn't really sure I'd enjoy it, but since it's my friend's favorite album I thought I'd give it a thorough listen or two and I ended up absolutely falling in love with it! yumeinati

I'm incapable of picking a favourite track because I have like five of them. This is my favorite Mechs album - I've listened to it so many times, and forced half my friends to listen to it as well. Love the story, the characters, the songs, the world! Sunae

The vibes; I once listened to the album on loop for two weeks straight (except for Ragnarok V; I can't listen to that without crying). Also, I was torn between this and Red Signal for my favorite track. purpleunicorn13
