Paulson was an indie rock band from Midland Park, New Jersey.
However Variations is simply a re-release of the original (due to Initial Records going out of business).
Variations features an art punk sound and much experimentation, while All at Once showcases Paulson's melodic indie rock songs.
Paulson had a strong DIY ethic, and has been played on MTVU.
In 2008 the band disbanded due to troubles in following career paths outside of music.
