“One of the heavy-hitters in the SF dream-pop scene, Papercuts' woozy melodicism is the creative output of songwriter, Jason Quever. Tonight, loose yourself in his whispered coo vocals and '60s baroque-pop arrangements as they headline a show chock-full of local talent. The support is not to be missed, and includes the Tim Cohen-fronted Magic Trick, and Dominant Legs, led by former Girls member Ryan Lynch. Some quality listening from start to finish.”
Christina Richards, Flavorpill
Subtlety is often an underrated quality. That's partly why Papercuts' new album, Fading Parade band's fourth overall, and first for Sub Pop — is such a breath of fresh air. Papercuts prinicipal Jason Robert Quever's beautiful songwriting is thoughtful, quietly evocative and simultaneously ambitious. This is dream pop of the highest order, but unlike a lot of contemporary bands that fall under the same sonic umbrella, Papercuts isn't trying to emulate shoegaze heavy hitters from yesteryear. Instead, Quever's embraced a gentler, more sophisticated approach to presenting pop music that’s steeped in atmosphere.
