P.T. Banks

“There’s enough spark in Banks' melodies to illuminate an entire room. The album shimmers and sways, the songs shine from their core.” –Paste Magazine, 'Moonlight Is Sunlight' review P.T. Banks is Paul Banks (formerly of Paul Banks & The Carousels and Paul Banks), with bandmates Christopher Cox and Matthew Shepherd (dana falconberry, Abram Shook). From Austin, Tejas. “Banks’ tenor has grown stronger, almost unearthly, and at moments it takes on a life of its own.” - Texas Monthly, 'Moonlight Is Sunlight' review "First thing you’ll note about Austin troubadour P.T. Banks is his voice – a piercing arrow of warmth and melancholy." - Austin Chronicle, 'Resurrection' music video premiere “Banks’ impeccably arranged songs explore a sonic terrain where bouncing melodies illuminate buzzing rock songs and strings buoy somber ballads." - Austin Monthly, 'Moonlight Is Sunlight' review "Banks and his band tap into a pop sound that’s rhythmically dense and soaring at the same time. Banks’ voice has the range of Rufus Wainwright or The Shins’ James Mercer, and he puts it to good effect on songs like 'Resurrection.'" -KUTX, Song of the Day "'West Was Won' and 'Death' follow Banks' soaring tenor out to the horizon's edge, while the sedate title track and 'Hitchhiker' keep eyes wide and the sunset vast . . . Even a jaunty cover of Harry Nilsson's 'Think About Your Troubles' moves from country roads to the infinite highway." - Austin Chronicle, 'Moonlight Is Sunlight' review
