 New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Stairs To Korea Official Website) - Stairs To Korea is Will Vaughan, a frighteningly talented half-Icelandic multi-instrumentalist who crafts skewed pop music using an array of effects, synthesisers and a dinky white guitar. Sugar-coated harmonies meet bended brass lines and intricate guitar motifs in his unique paens to growing up, going out and getting lost in the 21st century. After spells ranging from being a teenage drummer in a touring hardcore band to turning up in countless London groups playing a trumpet, organ, drums or kronenberg can, to supporting the likes of The Magic Numbers and Noisettes and gracing the main stage of The Secret Garden festival, Will has spent 2009 gaining considerable acclaim in a short time for Stairs To Korea, bringing his one-man incarnation to the London circuit. Vice Magazine and the respected Pinglewood blog are amongst the first to pick up on him, and appreciation is growing in the blogosphere in advance of his first single. 'Boy Bear It In Mind' comes out on Brainlove Records September 28, 2009, available from all good MP3 stores. 'Imagine Belle & Sebastian meets Bright Eyes, with a Londoner's wit and a battered blazer� Vaughan's gentle voice and skilled guitar-work are simply mesmerising, and the electronic interludes that punctuate his music add an ethereal charm. This is one very talented musician.' - Stereokill.
