[A]ustin Texas’ David Ramirez is an artist I think you are going to hear quite a bit more about. I’m pleased to premiere his first single from his upcoming record, Apologies (August 28th), the followup to his 2011 EP Strangetown. Apologies, is self-released using funds from a Pledge Music campaign, which was fully funded within a day. The album was produced by Ramirez and Brian Douglas Phillips (who also played banjo, pedal steel and piano on the record), and mixed by Danny Reisch (Spoon, Okkerville River, White Denim). Ramirez will be on tour this fall throughout the west coast as well as playing a string of album release shows in his native Texas.
“Paper Thin,” is a delightfully sweet folk song about a relationship, or possibly a relationship (one night stand?) that never was fully realized. It’s simple, emotive, first person narrative that sounds extremely intimate. Ramirez’ vocals are gentle and innocence which creates a really nice atmosphere of optimism in the face of unrequited love.

Thank you for sharing. I’m in love. =)
It has a taste of the blues. Its pretty good. I like the mixture of percussion and piano. Good catch
This new single is great! I really like the combination of blues melody in it. Nice work!
