Papercuts
White Are The Waves

A Norman Records recommendation (26th November 2009)

This record left our Business Lady feeling happy.

Papercuts are one of those bands I'd expect to be hearing a lot from in the not to distant future. They play a pseudo future space pop style that is both warm, inviting and refreshing in the current pop climate. On new track 'White Are The Waves' leader and songwriter Jason Quever laments lovingly over a cosmic indie jam awash with Casiotones and reverberance Sounds like a 70's AM radio treat if you ask me. The B-side features a remix of 'A Dictator's Lament' by Neighbors which suits me much better...it's like a mid-nineties Beck reworking with nice beats, sturdy hand-o-claps and some lovely 70's prog synth tones....very nice. 7"+ download on Gnomonsong.

The Papercuts return with a new single featuring a brand new song, White Are the Waves, backed with a Neighbors (Vetiver / GnomodomoAndy Cabic and producer Thom Monahan) remix of A Dictator sLament, a track from last spring s You Can Have What You Wantalbum. Recorded on the heels of extensive touring (most recently the UK,France, and the US West Coast) in support the highly regarded You CanHave What You Want, White Are the Waves shows the band in tiptopform. Papercuts leader and songwriter Jason Quever doesn t departfrom the retro future cosmic fragile pop fever-dream of his latest album,laying the melody out on the most soulful wash of Casio strings,over a simple, drop-dead perfect beat. Quever is as judicious with theguitar as ever, though it still rears its fuzzy head on the bridges andchoruses of a song that could have been an AM-radio staple in themid- 70s.The flipside remix will surprise a few, as Neighbors offer a quite differenttake on the original version, roughing the song up with an insistentbeat and a perfect Could it be 80s? vibe that has manifested in theduo s studio work over the last few years. 300 COPIES ONLY FOR THE UK!!!
