With its debut record Look Alive just a year old, Chicago's Paper Arrows is back with a second full-length, Things We Would Rather Lose, which was released by Quell Records on April 7, 2009.
In contrast to the quiet loss-laced and winter-inspired Look Alive, Things We Would Rather Lose features a robust, diverse sound, which was captured at I.V. Lab Studios and Gravity Studios in Chicago by producer Jay Marino, and mixed by Manny Sanchez (The Uglysuit, Zwan, The Hush Sound).
Joe Goodkin's poetic lyrics consider the process of recovery and reclamation, from the question posed in the first line of the distortion-filled opener More ("Can you leave the ghost behind?"), to the resolution of the album's closer, the horn-colored Explosions Below ("I'm turning the page on the last piece of love that she gave me.")
In between, the band bounces seamlessly from the straight-ahead rock of One More Quiet Song to the folky gospel of Til I Couldn't Cry, and from the pulsating disco beat of Crystal to the slow building drama of Skyscraper Hearts.
Things We Would Rather Lose has been licensed for use on original programming to:
