Paper Route
Absence + "Better Life"
Nashville, TN / Alternative : Electronic
About
Here’s the situation. In Nashville, there’s an old, decrepit plantation house where three bedraggled but refined white gentlemen drop beats, craft wordplay, design artwork, and arrange orchestral maneuvers in the dark. The structure is Joy Mansion, and the men who dwell there staring each other down and exercising their creative rivalry collaborate under the moniker of Paper Route. Having toured relentlessly with the likes of Passion Pit and mewithoutyou, won hearts and minds with their debut album Absence, paid musical tribute to Lou Reed to his imperturbable face at SXSW, and insinuated themselves into pop culture consciousness when their song “The Music” appeared in the film (500) Days of Summer, Paper Route have now seen fit to go for broke on the possibility that epic earnestness, lyrical depth, and poetic heft can all coincide within one ridiculously catchy song collection primarily preoccupied with—wait for it–tragedy, disappointment, and loss. Behold The Peace of Wild Things.
