Release Notes:

release 'Counterfeits and Forgeries', featuring
brand new covers by Paul of tracks by MGMT, Sonic
Youth, Elvis Costello and Talking Heads.
With Everything Is True Paul Dempsey has crafted a
beautiful and richly evocative record that defies
and exceeds expectationsà
On his debut solo album Paul Dempsey blazes a
remarkable new trail that illuminates his standing
as one of AustraliaÆs leading songwriters from a
whole new perspective.
On Everything Is True, the immense guitars and
conclusive backbeat that Dempsey has orchestrated
over Something For KateÆs five acclaimed albums are
put aside, succeeded by a striking new palette where
a tender voice and expressive acoustic guitar are
supplemented by airy rhythms, the expert punctuation
of an electric guitar and gently immersive
keyboards. This is music where light filters through
the gaps, uplifting and eminently melodic.
Everything Is True was essentially recorded by just
two people in a makeshift home studio: Dempsey and
co-producer, engineer and ôDevilÆs advocateö Wayne
Connolly (Youth Group, Josh Pyke, You Am I) took
over a pair of small bungalows at MacMasterÆs Beach,
an hour north of Sydney on NSWÆs Central Coast, for
a month at the start of 2009. Connolly, his partner
and their young son lived in one bungalow, while the
other bungalow had a living room full of recording
equipment and a second room to make the noise in. At
night Dempsey slept amidst the clutter of
instruments that nourished each dayÆs work. The
album was then mixed in Los Angeles by Doug Boehm
(Elliott Smith, French Kicks).
