Paul Dempsey - Everything Is True

Everything is True is the debut solo studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Paul Dempsey, originally released in August 2009 via Capitol and EMI Records.

Dempsey, who rose to fame with his band Something For Kate, played every instrument that appears on the album.

The first single released from the album was “Out the Airlock”, a beautiful, sparse folk- tinged track accompanied by some disarmingly dark lyrics while the second single, “Ramona Was A Waitress”, again displays Paul’s lyrical originality as he sings about a futuristic robot waitress arguing about mortality.

Further singles from the album were “Fast Friends” and “Bats”.

The critical response to the album was overwhelming, garnering  4 1/2 **** reviews from publications ranging from Rolling Stone to The Age to The Australian. The album achieved gold in Australia and continues to head towards platinum.

Everything is True debuted at No.5 on the Australian Record Industry charts and No.1 on the iTunes chart. The album has so far spent 15 weeks in the ARIA chart.

Paul was nominated for 5 ARIA Awards (Australian Record Industry Awards) including for Best Male Artist, Best Adult Contemporary Album & Producer of the Year. The album won the ARIA for Best Engineer in 2010 for Wayne Connolly’s work in co-producing.  

Paul was also nominated for a Triple J Award for Best Australian album and has just been awarded The Age EG Music Award for Best Male.

Triple J listeners voted the album in their Top 10 albums for 2009. Rolling Stone announced Everything is True as one of their Best Albums of 2009.

This double album 2LP record set is a 10^th Anniversary limited edition on 180 gram beer coloured vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with printed inner sleeves, pressed in Australia via EMI Records.
