Honey Tree
A song that travelled from a North London heavy-metal jam night to Johannesburg — and kept changing afterwards.
Soundcheck
Written in minutes to test some software. Eventually #1 on NumberOneMusic's UK EDM chart.
We Bring You Over
A Saturday morning plan goes wrong. The song notices. The video behaves even worse.
LOOK
CLOSER.
Every photograph leads somewhere. None of them has to tell you where first.
THE SONGS ARE
ONLY HALF OF IT.
Photographs and artefacts have a habit of remembering what happened around them.

LEFT IN.
Official releases, archive footage, accidental footage — and at least one guitar solo interrupted by a wasp.

Handwritten lyrics. Studio paperwork. Photographs. Release artwork. Old web pages. Things whose significance wasn't obvious until decades later.

This site brings together the music of Paul Cruse along with the people, places, accidents and surviving artefacts around it.
Some of the music reaches back many years. Some is newly restored, revisited or still evolving. The point isn't to make the past look tidier than it was. It's to let the pieces connect.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO START AT THE BEGINNING.
