Paul Newman is an Austin-based post rock/math rock band taking its name from its bassist.[1] Their music is largely instrumental, creating vast soundscapes with occasional interjections of both subtle and intense vocals.

History

The band formed in 1995 with an initial lineup of Paul A. Newman (bass guitar), Craig McCaffrey (guitar), and Anthony Nozero (drums).[2] Bassist Eddie Robert joined the following year.[2] Newman and McCaffrey previously played together in the hardcore punk band Brick.[3] After a debut single, the band signed to Trance Syndicate, releasing their first album, Frames per Second, on the label in 1997.[2] Second album Only Love Can Break Your Heart followed later that year.[1][2] After Trance Syndicate folded they signed to My Pal God for the 2000 album Machine Is Not Broken.[2]

In 2005 they released This Is How It Is Lost on the Emperor Jones label.[4] Current events regarding the band are unknown, however members have been active performing in other groups. Craig McCaffrey joined The American Analog Set in 2003 and stayed with them until their break up in 2006. Nozero started an instrumental group with tubist Brian Wolff in 1995 before the project ended in 2005.[2] Robert is currently performing in I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness.
