Papertwin Brings “Alkaline”

Papertwin’s “Alkaline” gets remixed by Daryl Palumbo
(Glass Jaw, Head Automatica)

Brooklyn synth-pop trio Papertwin recently released their latest musical offering ‘Vox Humana.’ The EP is now available digitally on Bandcamp and iTunes.

Today the band shares an atmospheric remix of their track “Alkaline” by Daryl Palumbo, frontman of Glass Jaw, Head Automatica, and Color Film. Stream the track over at SPIN.

Papertwin has been playing music together since 2009, formed by Max Decker after narrowly escaping a lucrative career as a landscape painter. After two homespun EPs, the band is set to release their first studio collaboration, Vox Humana.

Recorded under the guidance of producer Abe Seiferth (Yeasayer, Eleanor Friedberger, Turing Machine, DFA’s Plantain Studios), and mastered by Joe Laporta (Vampire Weekend, Beach House), Vox Humana escalates the band’s unique brand of synth-pop to new heights. Dreamy, dark, and nostalgically sci-fi, the EP features analog synthesizers, driving percussion, and reflective vocals. Drawing on influences from The Cure to Gillian Welch, Vox Humana builds upon the band’s previous recordings Porcelain (2011) and Peru (2012).

Papertwin is comprised of Max Decker (vocals, guitar, synth), Francis Cardinale (drums, programming) and Nick Shopa (synth). They are friends, and have been for a while. Before forming Papertwin they were valet car parkers, land surveyors, piano tuners, landscape painters, denim tailors, movie popcorn poppers…and sometimes still are.
