PAPER CRUSH

The sonic diary of founding member Mike Lee, this nu-gaze collection of highly addictive electronic shoegaze anthems boast bigger choruses and smoother vocals than previous outings. Writhing with emotion, elegant synths contrast against scratchy sounds and distorted beats and epitomise the sort of anything-is-possible-teenage-freedom of a seemingly endless summer. The collection examines the inner struggle with who you are and who you wanted to be. How nostalgia can be used as a mask to deceive. Bright with hints of melancholy, the dazed vocals, almost vacant buried within the mix, shimmer like treasure in the shallow waters of fuzz boxes and reverb.
