My first package from Splendid (the late "we review everything" website) was pretty awful...but it did contain the pAper chAse's Cntrl-Alt-Del-U, an abrasive, off-kilter, fiercely intelligent piece of noise punk that was, as it turned out, pretty far from the band's best. Now three-four records later, Congleton and crew are back with a really good one called Now You Are One of Us, an anxiety a...

If Dallas-based The Paper Chase, or “the pAper chAse” as they often refer to themselves as, ever wanted to create a film score then they could quite easily submit their latest album ‘Someday This Could All Be Yours (Part 1)’.The film that they would score would have to be directed by Darren Aronofsky; the plot [...]

Spoiler alert, when SubEx puts out its best albums of 2009 list next month you can most certainly expect Paper Chase's tour de force Someday This Could All Be Yours, Vol. 1 to be holding down a spot in the top 5; and not just of local releases either, John Congleton and Co. have seriously advanced our sonic pallates exponentially.
