Paris Obscur Darkens Cat's Art MusikCircus

For many, making songs for thirteen-year-old girls is the best 'musical business model' as they buy tons of CDs and they can make you a star, boy.  Some of the best things about Paris Obscur are that he doesn't sing to pander to children and he never ever talks about business models.  This is not a show to which Mother will take her daughter as Mother will want Paris all for herself.

There is great darkness in what Paris describes in his songs.  In one of them he gets into the mind of a rapist and that's a hideous thing but it also highlights the hope as knowing such horrors exist gives all the more reason to embrace the hope and strive for it.  The music is dark but not at all gratuitously depressing.  Paris' purpose is to enlighten you, not send you home in tears.

You can find a great deal more about Paris on the Paris Obscur Web site and what follows is a picture parade:
