Paper Masques is a budding collective of Philadelphia musicians revolving around the song writing of Zelda Pinwheel founder, Stephen Quaranta. Formed in the Summer of 2008 with former Teeth drummer, Jonas Oesterle, as a vehicle for Quaranta to perform his acoustic material; the project quickly took on a life of its own. With Quaranta and Oesterle being joined on stage by Scott Mangan (The Grass is Greener,) and Mike Schmidt (The Otters;) Paper Masques soon began performing for enthusiastic crowds all over the city. In Autumn of 2008, they self-released 'The Lemonade EP,' a brief collection of home recordings (available as a free download through earSnake.com) featuring covers, and demos from their brand new full-length debut: 'Tell the Ghosts it’s Suppertime.'
Released by EarSnake Records on 2009’s Spring equinox, 'Tell the Ghosts it’s Suppertime' features an all-star cast of musicians from all over the Philadelphia music community and showcases Paper Masques’ unique folk-tinged psychedelia. The thirteen musicians who populate the album’s intricately arranged tracks bring layers of depth and atmosphere to Quaranta’s songs of loss and depravity; leaving the listener to blindly wander through a lush carnival of urban decay.
