Paul Garside Goes to the Darkest Place on Earth and Finds a Way Back Up with His Latest, "Mariana Trench"

Okay, so I have a type when it comes to music. It's the guy with an acoustic guitar, a sharp eye for the human condition and who doesn't entertain the thought of playing it safe! Paul Garside is that guy.

Paul writes in the traditional form of the great British storytellers and records at RMS Studios in Selhurst Park with collaborators. He's been building up an incredible palette of music on the London folk circuit.

Let us introduce you to his brand-new release, "Mariana Trench."

The song is transparent from the get-go. It's about depression. Garside cleverly also named it after the deepest ocean trench on Earth, which, if you think about it, is isolated, pressurised and lightless. Somewhat like a serious depressive episode actually feels from the inside. What a gorgeous way to explain depression!

The chords descend and ascend in a way that mirrors the rhythm of those days. The production gives everything enough space, like it's a big room sound that lets each layer land.

If you need a reason to press play: Garside has said this is probably the most positive thing he's ever written. Go hit play on "Mariana Trench."
