Page France were an indie folk-pop music band. Their music tends to be emotional and their songs tend to have simple melodies. Page France is sometimes compared to Sufjan Stevens for their use of uncommon instruments such as the glockenspiel and banjo.
The band broke up in 2008. Frontman Michael Nau is now focusing his full attention on Cotton Jones.
The band has been characterized by some as Christian due to a number of references song lyrics and titles. However, lyricist Nau counters: “The ‘Christian band’ inquiry wears me out, to be honest. As for the Christian symbols in my writing — sometimes I don’t even realize that they exist until someone points them out to me. There’s really no reason; it just rolled out that way.”
The band is a frequent feature on a number of music blogs, notably You Ain’t No Picasso.

Michael Nau has a new band called Cotton Jones who are about to release their first full-length on Suicide Squeeze. the music is very different, but most of the members from Page France are in it, so suggest checking it out if you haven't already. I miss Page France too. :-( Speaking of them, does anyone have the "...and the Bonus Telephone" iTunes EP that they would be kind enough to send me? please please?
