Papir / Stundum (2011)


I'm a bass player.

And one of the thing I like to do most are jam sessions. Yeah, making songs is fantastic, you can put your feelings and ideas into them. But jams are different. You don't put feelings into them; they automatically come out from you, and enter your music. You can travel into yourself, making music, and you can go everywhere you want, just play the note you feel like, at the moment you feel like.

Papir is a band from Copenhagen. A so called "power trio": drums, bass, guitar. Their approach is simple, like "the ones you see playing are the ones you will hear". No computer programmings, overdubs.

They define themselves "semi-improvisational psychedelic rock".

And this album is a huge and powerful jam session.

Today, in 2012, with computer that can make even the poorer and incapable popstar able to sing and have behind so much sounds that you can believe that a single machine can do this, this band made an album made only of the three fucking pillars of rock, without adding shit or studying songs to make them sell better.

Thank you. We NEEDED an album like this.

Put your earphones on. Start listen. Travel.
