The Paradox Twin – Sea of Tranquility
Following their recent live tour which included an appearance at Wokingham Festival, this Reading-based band release their eagerly awaited second album, Silence from Signals, this weekend.
The album is already gaining critical acclaim, which isn’t surprising considering the excellent musicianship of the band, the quality songwriting of Danny Sorrell, and the emotional dual vocals of Danny and Nicole Johnson.
This single is one of the album’s beautiful mellower pieces – www.theparadoxtwin.com
