Papercranes "Bands That Rock" Feature On Full Frontal Fashion
"Dark, moody arrangements that reflect subtle jazz and African influences" AOL SPINNER
"Her music is unpolished and confessional, with a '90s tinge of driving guitars and gently menacing female vocals."
INTERVIEW MAGAZINE
"This enchanting set of tunes blends ambient, anthemic melodies evocative of early Frames." BLURT
"A morphing psychedelic-alt-folk ensemble fronted by the beautifully transfixing and thermally cool Rain Phoenix-a band seemingly bent on dishing a kind of fevered oxygen to the needy limbs of its audience community." FLAUNT
Papercranes is the musical home of Rain Phoenix. Born as a studio project in LA, Papercranes quickly grew into a band splitting time between Gainesville, Florida and New York City. After a self-released EP in 2003 and debut album Vidalia in 2006, Papercranes played frequently, touring the US with their folk-tinged psychedelic sound. In late 2008, with the help of some of Rain's longtime friends, musicians, and writers she began work on Papercranes' sophomore album, Let's Make Babies in the Woods. The recording sessions were experimental, allowing no rest or retakes as an exercise in 'stream of consciousness' writing - a recurring theme for Papercranes. Due to the intensity of the sessions and the non linear production style she favored, there's a rawness to this record untapped in Papercranes earlier works. Recorded in a garage studio in Los Angeles, the resulting nine-song collection delves into much darker themes. This is evident in songs like "Shell", "Synapses" and "Dust Season" where desolate imagery meet rebellious melody and angry rhythms. Whereas tracks like "Warrior", "Headphones" and "Long Way" seem almost biographical with observances that are poetic yet accessible. Papercranes will be releasing a limited edition 7 inch featuring a new version of the single "Long Way", b/w a stunning cover of Velvet Underground's "Pale Blue Eyes". This will be available on June 28th on Manimal Records.
