Synopsis

Amazon.com
There's a persistent gauze throughout Can't Go Back, the second album from the Papercuts, and the light-diffusing effect is gently magical. Jason Quever's the brainchild, voice, and songwriter for the 10 tracks here, sporting a lo-fi yearn and a fascination for the pivot points where post-innocence folk mutates with indie rock. The audio mix is key: acoustic guitars, bass, organ, and drums become a hazy shimmer, so closely entwined that they almost become a single sound as Quever sings in a reverb-soaked, softly high pitch. Quever goes into an indecipherable warble at points on "Found Bird," amid whistles and martial snare-drum accompaniment, but for the most part he's poised frontally with a touch of confessionalism and more than a strong dash of simple, folkie naiveté, right where it crosses paths with lovelorn psychedelia. --Andrew Bartlett

CD Reviews

Soothing 60's sound
Thomas D. Barnes | BURLINGTON, vt United States | 07/27/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"beautiful and soothing. for me there are at least these stand-out tracks: "Dear employee" and "Sandy". I have played those so many times over, especially helpful during emotionally turbulent times, I'll just leave it at that. soothing to the soul. i was not disappointed by the lo-fi quality, that is what i like about it."
