PAPER - ENDLESS SUMMER

paper(the moniker of Ryan Robert Jacobs), is a from the glamorous and dehumanizing LA. Like so many other bands, paper put out a release on January 1st of this year, probably wishing to jump on some sort of second decade rock and roll era...at this moment they have managed to leak their music everywhere and have managed to get a write up or two here and there. Though the promise of instant fame and stardom with a New Year release has yet to set in for these gents, they did produce a nice sounding release. 'Endless Summer,' the ADHD influenced album, starts with a killer introductory track, revealing the short lo-fi crunch and reverb drowned sound that will accompany the rest of 'Endless Summer.' After continuing to listen to the remaining 12 minutes and 7 tracks(two of which were covers), it was decided that the band's merit will need to rest in their ability to create catchy noise/surf/blues/garage tunes for the sake of. The 'band' also put out a little avant-garde release in OCT 2010 titled 'pilot.' This release is a collection of music that was created by Mr. Jacobs All in all, paper is most definitely worth checking out. You can't talk shit about them if you never listened to them, so here is another FREE anthem for a 13 and 1/2 minute journey.
