THE PAPERHEAD IMPORT LP “FOCUS IN ON THE LOOKING GLASS”
From our friends at Ample Play in London, we have a very limited amount (40) of The Paperhead's "Focus In On The Looking Glass". Formerly available here on cassette, now we've got a 12' slab of vinyl featuring brilliant psychedelic sitar drenched poppy goodness from these fresh young Nashville lads. Recorded by the legenday David Steine of So Jazzy fame! The Paperhead will take you back in time by way of the future.Here's what Record Collector had to say:
"If you’re over 40, you may well survey the disaffected youth of today from behind a twitched curtain and sweepingly state that what they need is no haircut and a spell in the peace corps. Good news for you, if you take that view: The Paperhead are a trio of 18-year-olds from Nashville who, unlikely as it may seem, take their name from a lyric in My Clown by late 60s UK psych oddfellows July. Better still, and yet more unlikely, they seem to have based the bedrock of their sound upon that very single: vocals through a Leslie cabinet, drums plummeting down a neighbour’s stairwell, fuzztone guitar lines as thin as a fly’s entrails, the works. Focus In On The Looking Glass would be a thing of wonder whatever its provenance, but the fact that it springs from present-day teenage Nashville adds a frisson of insular weirdness that arguably hasn’t passed this way since the early Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci releases. Symon’s Monthly Meteorological Magazine represents a lovingly uncanny evocation of Interstellar Overdrive – and if you can keep from breaking out into a beatific, shit-eating grin when the sitar and tabla come in on The Coyote, then frankly you’re made of sterner stuff than anyone here."
