Paddy Casey releases album Stateside
Paddy Casey's Addicted To Company get its US release this week.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 28 Mar 2008
Paddy Casey looks to follow his old mucker Glen Hansard into the US charts with the release there this week of Addicted To Company.
Having whetted appetites with a series of low-key club dates, Paddy switches into promo overdrive with an April 3 Letterman slot and supports with first Broken Social Scene’s Jason Collett and then KT Tunstall.
He’s also been made a 52/52 artist by MTV USA, which guarantees a week of plays for his Catherine Owens directed ‘Fear’ video; had Addicted To Company selected as the Artist Direct ‘Album Of The Week’; and been interviewed by both Billboard and the LA Times for major profile pieces.
Early days yet, but the omens are good.

Paddy Casey’s music has improved dramatically since he first emerged, the David Gray-isms of yore being replaced with something far more ambitious and colourful. ‘Addicted To Company’ incorporates swooping strings, the odd splash of brass, and even some gospel-flavoured backing vocals. This has an ambitious feel to it and could be huge.
