Empathy (2008)

Empathy (2008)
Paul Archer’s remarkable debut as Burning Codes. Written and recorded largely alone in a Northamptonshire forest, with Paul performing every instrument and vocal, Empathy is raw, intimate, and spiritually uplifting.

Praised as “a truly remarkable debut album” (Hot Press), the record’s “mysterious, melodic, beautiful” harmonies (Hot Press) and “sumptuously layered vocals… contemplation-triggering” (mp3hugger) earned deep acclaim. The County Down Spectator noted its “expansive yet minimalistic” codes of layered vocals and drones.

An album of rare emotional depth, Empathy set the foundation for Paul’s evolving artistic journey.
