Following a sold out release show at The Lexington in London, The 2nd album “Home” was released on 10th November 2017. The Creative Scotland funded album was a celebration of collaboration. Paul had the opportunity to work with his heroes; Rod Jones (Idlewild), Paul Savage (Mogwai/Twilight Sad) and studied arrangement with two time British Composer Award winner Simon Dobson. The album had a more refined sound and received print features in The Skinny, Prog and M-Magazine. Steve Lamacq called it “A Late Contender for Album of the year” and played several songs and invited Paul for an interview. Other 6Music DJs also got behind the release including Gideon Coe, Stuart Maconie and Don Letts (who even used "Crackle Pop” for his own advert). The album has over 200,000 plays across online platforms.
