Paul Gehl from Luxembourg put together a solid rock track that hits hard from start to finish. “Chasing Shadows” is a one-man operation. He played every instrument and handled the production in his home studio, which is pretty impressive when you hear how tight everything sounds.
The song goes after our obsession with buying stuff to look good for people we don’t even care about. Paul asks a fair question, why do we pile up possessions when we could be doing things that actually matter? He gets his point across without lecturing anyone, and the main riff hooks you immediately and doesn’t let go. Paul mentioned it’s one of his favorites he’s written, and honestly, you can tell. He plays it with real conviction.
The recording came out exactly how he wanted, which doesn’t always happen when you’re producing yourself. That clarity of purpose makes the track work, it’s straightforward rock done right, with enough edge to keep your attention and enough substance to make you think.
If you’re looking for guitar-driven rock with actual ideas behind it, you should definitely follow Paul Gehl on Spotify to keep up with his work and see where he takes his sound next.
