PAPER
Paper is a kraut-punk trio featuring Calle Olsson from The Bear Quartet and Paddington DC along with members of Audionom. The sound is based around the frustration of punk, the desperation of monotony and the delicacy of pop melody. PAPER deliver on one side two-minutes hardcore manouvers followed by long monotonous, almost transcendental, three-chords variations. Throw in well arranged melodies and pretty traditional pop songs like nitrate in the hard cold cocktail and you get the big picture. Punk-kraut is a pretty accurate description of their music.

Paper are: PTR [Gtr, Vcl] RSK [Drm] CRL [Vcl, Ply6]
