About the Artist

To say the least, Page France has handcrafted some sort of love affair. Arriving significantly late, then stirring up the guest room with a batch of songs that would perk the ears of a hummingbird. It is the sort of blend that would so swiftly hit you in the lip, then immediately bemoan the sore knuckles. It is a completion in it's rarest of forms for writer, Michael Nau, embracing the ephemeral while nearly mocking the perpetual. It has hindsight lenses at the legs, a foresight panic at the shoulders, and a soothing, present tense vegetation as the mid-section. This is Page France waltzing confidantly through the doorway to shake your hand and, with the most polite of manners,introducing himself before connecting himself to your side. The introductory album; "Come, I’m a lion!" was written in the Spring of 2004, with the ever so pleasant accompaniment of multi-instrumentalist and friend, Clinton Jones, before independently recording the album at "this is our furnace" in late June of 2004. The release is a delicate glimpse into the telescope of things yet to come, while bubbling with utmost character as each track is so precisely crafted to its core. Sparking subtly with glass-pitched sing-a-longs before bursting sweetly into what could adequately be described as mid-air. This is just the start of a long winded love affair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Debut, October 4, 2005

Do yourself a favor and buy this CD.

I'm not sure what genre Page France belongs in, but it does belong in your CD collection.

The songs have a great flow with voice and guitar (mostly acoustic) out front. Accordion (yes accordion), keys, bass are in the back. The drums are wonderfully subtle. Mike Nau has a pleasantly unique voice, and Whitney McGraw's harmonies are soft, like a whisper.

Try this album on for size, it will fit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Eh, September 14, 2007

This review is from: Come I'm a Lion (Audio CD)

Some of these songs actually are nice. Most of them, however, particularly Rhythm and Northern Light, are repetitive and homogeneous. It would be nice to have some variety in regards to the vocals. There is next to no instrumental diversity. I won't deny that the album as a whole sounds pleasant, but it's not much more than this. Listen to Hello, Dear Wind instead; even though it came out less than a year after Come, I'm a Lion, it is a vast improvement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible. Astonishing. Blows your mind more than Grandma's Apple Pie., July 29, 2005

This cd is one of the most amazingly enthrulling albums I have ever owned. I am surprised that people i actually know are able to produce such magic. All of the personalities that make up this group only adds more to the intense soul massaging lyrics and musical splendor. I would encourage anyone to buy this cd. It truly is a remedy to the soul.
