New single from Cellarscape

Los Angeles-based artist Paul Terry is a musical innovator who performs under the name Cellarscape and, more recently, as Aptøsrs. Known for crafting immersive musical experiences, across seven albums as Cellarscape he’s delivered an engaging catalogue of work that’s connected with countless fans over the years.

On his musical endeavour, he’s built a devoted following with acclaimed releases like Exo Echo, along with theme songs and compositions for major media projects such as the documentary So Much Damage: How Image Comics Changed the World. His 2015 album, The Act of Letting Go, was even nominated for Best Eclectic Album at the Independent Music Awards, attesting to his groundbreaking output and creativity.

In addition to his work as Cellarscape, Paul is an accomplished film and television composer with a wide-ranging portfolio that spans more than 30 original soundtracks with credits including award-winning documentaries like Dave Stevens: Drawn to Perfection, thrillers such as Hidden Valley Place and the moving drama Emily starring Felicity Jones. More recently he’s explored his instrumental work in a bold new direction with his project Aptøsrs, introducing audiences to an atmospheric sound with experimental vibes.

Now, having recently released  Live at Siren FM: The 2011 Acoustic Session, a rediscovered recording of a live acoustic EP once thought to be lost, Cellarscape now brings us his latest single titled “Out Of My Hands (The Beach Club Cut),” a previously unreleased version of a track from his 2014 album, The Act of Letting Go. This version, he describes as a “streamlined, indie pop-rock club” cut, was almost released as a single a decade ago but was ultimately kept under wraps. Now, with 2024 marking 25 years of his career as a composer and songwriter, he’s finally sharing this track with the world.

The single serves as the lead track on his forthcoming compilation album, SkyBabyRecords Est. 1999 – A 25th Anniversary Celebration, which drops later this month and is set to deliver an expansive 25-track run through of Paul Terry’s work, featuring selections from his film scores, deep cuts from Cellarscape, collaborations with guest artists and compositions from Aptøsrs.

With “Out Of My Hands (The Beach Club Cut),” he presents a pop-focused indie rock jam cut with crisp beats and instantly catchy melodic leads. Showcasing his knack for crafting music with broad appeal, the track pairs smooth vocal flows that ride above lively acoustic guitar rhythms, deep, popping bass lines and punchy drums, resulting in an infectious and energising sound. It’s a stellar example of his songwriting panache, brought to life by his commanding performance talent, building the excitement for his upcoming record which promises to offer the perfect snapshot of Paul Terry’s decorated career to date.
