Paper Spook Release Debut EP Midsummer Sensation
German dream rock twosome Paper Spook made their debut in June with the single “Seven Dimensions,” and from what I can tell that’s the first collaboration between guitarist David Nilsson and vocalist Juju Lund, who self-recorded the lo-fi track to be included as one of seven on their 27-minute debut EP, Midsummer Sensation. Perhaps aspirational in its title, the collection is nonetheless a brightly colorful and immersive rending of stylized psychedelia, Lund‘s vocals at the head of a languid, full-band flow marked out by the interplay of reverb-heavy guitars and periodic bouts of keys and other floaty-type swirls.
As to whether the Berlin outfit wind up the midsummer sensation in terms of the response to the release, that remains to be seen, but whatever else Lund and Nilsson do on their first outing, they do capture a particular warmth and haze true to the season. The tracks are out now through various digital outlets — as they say, the usual suspects — and a vinyl edition is reportedly to follow, though I don’t have an exact date on when. For now, I’m pleased enough to let my brain drift along “Because of Rock ‘n’ Roll.” The rest can sort itself out later.
Announcement — more or less as it originally appeared – and audio follow:
