The three year interim since former Camper Van Beethoven multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Segel’s last CD release (Jack & Jill’s "Fancy Birdhouse") found him either touring the globe playing with Capitol Records recording artists Sparklehorse or working on film sound effects at Dane Davis’ studio in Los Angeles, Danetracks. Both of these experiences are acoustically evident in Jonathan’s new CD, "Scissors and Paper." Definitely a darker and more reflective record, "Scissors and Paper" started its life in San Francisco with former Jack & Jill bandmates Russ Blackmar and Jane Thompson, but finished in Los Angeles between tours over the next two years as a solo project. Soulful and melodic guitar and violin work, mixtures of drums and machines, sound effects and guest vocals from Jane Thompson, the Loud Family’s Alison Faith Levy, and the Moth Wranglers’ Chris Xefos and ld beghtol all grace this recording.
