Even if you have no pity, the album is worth the buy based on quality alone. After all, I can only imagine the financial strain of first-time parents. You can find such wearily enjoyable dabbling on Paper’s debut, As As, which was released in June on States Rights Records. Hell, this is one of the healthiest antidotes for insomnia that you are likely to find. And I mean that entirely as a complement – Paper’s music is lush and tranquil, resulting in a generally relaxing experience. I would not be surprised if they use their own albums as a way to nurse their newborn baby to sleep. In addition to keeping up with their other bands whilst writing material for Paper, Aaron and Adrienne delivered a healthy baby girl, Elise, in May. All focused on the electronic aspect of music, they implement natural instruments (guitars and bass) with experimental effects of electronic devices (synthesizers, Moog, pedals), resulting in a sound that is a cross between minimalism and left-field electronica.Ĭurrently based in Connecticut, the two members of Paper have been quite busy over the past several months. Snow have gained the proper experience from each band necessary, as each band plays a very similar style of music that correspondingly encompasses Paper’s stylistic traits. These include Landing, Surface of Eceyon, and White Rainbow – all relatively low-scale bands with a marginal but dedicated fan following. They are hardly amateurs either, as both husband and wife have played in several bands since they met in the 90s. Such a dull object would never accurately portray the deep electronic soundscapes that Aaron and Adrienne Snow create with synthesizers, guitars, drums, bass, and occasionally their own voices. It is nearly ironic that they call their project Paper. Strigens in Testa Rosa, are quite talented and capable of writing their own little masterpieces. And no – these are not some giddy cover bands who play in your local bar every Friday night. It just seems that, quite coincidentally, this is the second band in a row that I featured which includes a husband and a wife. Or maybe that is just some wishful thinking on my part. Perhaps she would be able to spark my musical talent and transform my lyrical ability into an emotionally focused skill where I would be able to make grown men cry with ease.
