Can't Go Back on CD

Papercuts is Jason Quever's cathedral of sound, a place for the desperate worship of all things analog and devotion to the musicianship of the old world. His new album for Gnomonsong, Can't Go Back, is a marriage of timeless songs, richly textured studio sounds, classic rock/pop hookery, and focused narratives - all delivered with Quever's warm voice and wonderfully layered melodies. The seeds of Papercuts were sown in 2002 when he broke into a vacationing friend's apartment, eight-track in tow, to record piano tracks for Cass McCombs' 'Not the Way'. Ever since, Quever has kept busy, playing with and recording other friends' bands. He has collaborated with Casio tone for the Painfully Alone, the Sky green Leopards, as well as Vetiver, and considers working intimately with such contemporary songwriters to be a significant influence. 10 tracks. Gnomononsong. 2008.
