Papercuts...look, I'm going apeshit over them!

You know how music critics are supposed to be all cool and collected...and not get too excited about anything in case their friends decide it's not any good after all? Well, clearly I'm not a music critic, because this new Papercuts album is fantastic, up there with David Kilgour's The Far Now for my favorite this year. Here's what I said at Dusted:"This is easily the most exciting new pop album of a still young year. Can’t Go Back grabs you with the first flurry of guitar strums, all cool, voluminous tone and three-dimensional space. It's the first salvo in what emerges as a damn-near perfect album, each cut luminous and distinct from the others, yet arranged in a way that flows easily from start to finish. Like Cabic, Quever is the master of unhurried lyricism, songs that seem like they might go on forever, or at least for the length of a sunny afternoon."
