Treating Ferrets With Sores

Papercuts - Fading Parade



















The first subpoena (IX)


Personnel:
The only permanent member of Papercuts Jason Robert Queve is from San Francisco. There he also runs his own studio ("Pan American Recording Studio") in which bands like Vetiver or Casiotone For The Painfully Alone were guests. The singer / songwriter was also already working as a producer for Port O'Brien or the Beach House.


crime was committed:
already since high school days at home to take Queve songs. Until the first real publication ("Mockingbird", 2004) but should still take a few years. Meanwhile 4 albums are at 3 indie labels in his discography, for "Fading Parade" secured for the first time Sub Pop the rights.
The record was not only alone in Jason Queve own studio, but also in cooperation with Thom Monahan at The Hangar Studio in Sacramento. Queve played all instruments (12-page acoustic guitar, piano, autoharp, mellotron, Moog, drums, etc.) even in the live implementation of various musicians, he is - at present: David Enos (keyboard, autoharp), Graham Hill ( Drums) and Frankie Koeller (bass) - supported.


plea:
Due Queve production work, it is not surprising that the sound of the Papercuts by Beach House is close to what. Smooth, spun Dreampop, which is enriched with quotations and 60s as a clash of Belle & Sebastian and Slowdive to be defined.


Witnesses
That tone carries over onto Papercuts' latest album, Fading parade, Which mixes melodies and trans fixing blissful vocal harmonies with dark, weighty themes. Queve's songwriting addresses youthful insecurity, painful trauma and romantic angst in personally specific yet concise snippets that make his words universally relatable. Lines like "Feels so strange to be back home / Can't decide if I belong" (in "Marie Says You've Changed") or "Your things are on the floor / I'll see you later, I guess" (in "Chills") allow listeners to attach their own stories and meaning in order to fill out a fuller back story. (...)

Each song brims with soaring vocal harmonies and compelling instrumentation: the Echoplex-heavy guitars of "Marie Says You've Changed," the crisp strum of autoharp in "Do What You Will," the strings, Mellotron and Moogs in "Do You Really Wanna Know."
While there's not much of an edge to this music, that's by Quever's own design. "There was so much aggressive music when I was younger, and I just felt like trying something different," he says. The result is a washy pop sound which re-creates summery nostalgia, while remaining a joy to hear again and again.
