Papir to Release Jams 2LP April 9
If the thought of Copenhagen’s Papir releasing a double-vinyl collection of jams called simply Jams doesn’t immediately pique your interest, well, I’m sorry. Sincerely. Because it should. I double-dog-dare you to take on the 20 minute creative sprawl that they’ve titled “17.01.2020 #1” and see if your mind isn’t changed for the better.
The Danish outfit were last heard from with 2019’s VI (review here), and though Stickman Records doesn’t list an exact release date in their newsletter — for which you might consider signing up — the band’s Bandcamp page has it as an April 9 release. Whether that means vinyl will be after the digital, I don’t know. I don’t know anything. All I know is I dig Papir jamming and this is two 12″ platters’ worth of Papir jamming. Sometimes the universe does you favors.
The band’s own Nicklas Sørensen provided the update via the label:

“Jamming has always been an essential part of Papir. Jamming in the rehearsal room, jamming in the studio, collectively jamming live and getting in to a common zone of rocking outbursts, ambient soundscapes, repetitive trances or whatever comes through. Sometimes it can just feel like a hard work of even trying to get into the zone. But mostly it’s just good times and fun, and I guess that’s why we do it. It’s all about musical energy!
So why haven’t we released a pure jam record before you might ask? Well, that’s a great question and all we can say is that we don’t really know, but this time we went all in on the jams. This record is a product of the jams we did during our recording sessions in The Black Tornado Studio last year. So is this the raw uncensored version of Papir? No, not really. There are always choices to make, so we picked out the best jams for you. Hope you will enjoy it!”
