New Tales
2009
Deep Elm Records




- Alternative Press Magazine

"For me, this was the high watermark of music released in Houston this year and would put it up against anything released in 2008 outside of the city. Papermoons' New Tales was never far from my CD player. This was an album I picked apart over and over again - stunned at how brilliantly constructed the whole thing is. Album of the year, 2008."
- Ramon Medina / Freepress Houston

"The Texas-based duo already has a 7" to their credit, one that I have already expressed acclaim for. New Tales builds on the melancholic pop melodies of that album however, this time around the band has more time to better show their own identity. Papermoons are an unusual enough band that they warrant some genuine excitement."

- Ben Conoly / Punk News. org

"Papermoons are helping to define a new direction for Houston indie rock that largely eschews the punk, noise and psychedelic influences that have dominated for the past two decades. They deliver intricate arrangements, attention to detail and an acute sensitivity."
- Daniel Mee / Houston Press


Papermoons
[7 inch]
2007
Team Science



"In the time since their debut 7” on Team Science Records Papermoons’s skill at writing elegant and emotionally stirring music has grown in leaps and bounds. Their backbone is still mid-tempo indie pop that uses subtle transitions and dreamy vocals to craft hypnotic little crests of songs for the mellower moments in life."
- John Bond / Mammoth Press

"This 7" is the debut record by the Houston two piece and with it they have captured my attention, my mind and perhaps even my soul. It's a very rare occasion when a band that plays such soft music gets me to do a double take. I could imagine this album being the musical accompaniment to John Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley", perfectly encapsulating the feeling of experiencing the world."
- Chris / Diatribe Inc

   About PAPERMOONS






Less is more. It's a philosophy that Matt Clark and Daniel Hawkins of PAPERMOONS understand quite well. The idea that you can say a whole lot more without screaming or shouting is evidenced by the brilliantly constructed songs on their debut NEW TALES. They use subtle transitions, gorgeous Simon & Garfunkel-esque harmonies, intricate performances and attention to every minute detail to create a unique mid-tempo mix of indie rock and alt-country that is truly captivating. Lyrics such as "I just wanna know / if my life is a joke / cause I breathe right / do I live right?" will capture your attention, your mind and perhaps even your soul. "There isn't a lyrical theme to the record, but more of an array of experiences. What we hope is that the listener can find comfort in our songs no matter their mood. We strive to make music that can both cheer someone up and also console. We've both been involved with playing music for many years now and what has been continually inspiring to us is the way in which music connects people" says Matt Clark. It's impossible to pick a favorite from this impressive collection of songs...because the reality is every single track on NEW TALES is a winner. Beautifully melodic, innocent songs with undercurrents of sadness and hope, NEW TALES is an album with no equal.
