Our Take

Wow, what a delightful surprise this debut album from Paper Beat Scissors turned out to be! With a name like that, you might expect some playful whimsy, and this Canadian outfit certainly delivers.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Rest Your Bones," showcasing Tim Crabtree's emotive vocals and intricate guitar work. It sets the tone for the rest of the record, blending folk sensibilities with indie rock edge.

Tracks like "Forgotten Children" and "Seasons Change" showcase Crabtree's lyrical storytelling prowess, weaving tales of heartbreak and hope with effortless grace. The sparse instrumentation allows his words to take center stage, drawing the listener in with their raw honesty.

But it's not all melancholy introspection here - tracks like "Watch Me Go" and "Don't You" inject a healthy dose of energy and groove, proving that Paper Beat Scissors is more than just a one-trick pony.

Overall, Paper Beat Scissors have crafted an album that is equal parts introspective and infectious, offering up a sonic journey that is both thought-provoking and toe-tapping. If you're looking for something to soundtrack your existential crisis while also getting your hips moving, look no further than Paper Beat Scissors. Consider us thoroughly impressed.
