Bio

Conversions in Metric’s gentle analog chirps and chimes make me think of watching 8mm nature films while riding a bicycle. Without overpowering instruments or producing, French Paddleboat’s warm songs build upon themselves naturally. Using only analog samples it carries a lively, moving feeling with spontaneous, yet well placed accents. Acoustic drums intelligently threaded through calm harmonies is what gives French Paddleboat it’s active, catchy melody.

Recorded and mixed at Triple Crown Studios in 1997, Scott August’s Conversions in Metric was later released in 1999 by Vancouver’s Scratch Records. If you have interest in bright, minimalistic music or respect for anything analog, this is a album you can’t miss.
