Boston musician Steve Geraci delivers a cinematic emotional storm on his new single “Paradise Lost,” a soulful, tension-filled track showcasing his alto sax and Stratocaster rhythm, out November 7. The song paints a scene of heartbreak on a “cold, wet pavement stage” as Geraci describes it — lovers caught between reconciliation and ruin. With piano, sax, and guitar driving a cool retro alt-soul sound, and a raw, Morphine-style sax solo building to a frenzied finish, the single channels both restraint and release.
Produced and engineered by Dave Westner (Peter Wolf, Dropkick Murphys) and recorded at David Minehan’s Woolly Mammoth Sound in Waltham, MA, “Paradise Lost” continues Geraci’s run of introspective yet daring releases following “Voice In My Head” and “Save Yourself.” The Needham native and frontman of The Tear Downs says the song’s risks and imperfections are part of its appeal: “Rough and raw, but really emotive and relatable.” With a new EP coming in early 2026, Geraci proves again that authenticity and variety remain his creative compass.
