Papercuts - Fading Parade

I'm going to try & keep this brief as i've already gushed stupidly from great heights about this band on many occasion, their 'You Can Have What You Want' album being one of my most precious records. I know not what makes me feel like vomiting superlatives & crying with happiness everytime I hear Jason Quever. He's not even doing anything bloody original the lazy little tyke! If you've got 'Prefection' by Cass McCombs I'd like to say you don't need to own this fourth Papercuts album but that would be a massive bare-faced lie. An untruth that could crush you into the ground like an ant into dust. No, he isn't really a Cass clone at all. His songs have that heavy hearted, dream-like aura that very few artists successfully harness. Everything's buried under a dusty sheen of reverb that I find totally irresistible. The song 'Chills' funnily enough sounds like the band of the same name - has a real 'Pink Frost' tint to it. There's also a real hearty hint of bands such as Beach House. Sad enigmatic lullabies from another universe, beamed into your life to make everything better. And the fact that he manages to pinch the best bit of all your favourite bands and make a delicious melancholic casserole from them - a true musical chef. God bless yer son, congratulations on delivering another perfect baby album!
