    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 29, 2018 36:03


    Paper Gliders released their first EP at the beginning of September and we were invited to review it. The EP is a culmination of influences and sounds from Fleet Foxes, the Cure, and Foster the People. The three distinct lead singers allow for very different variation from song to song especially when paired with melodic guitar, keyboard and bass parts. The dry mix keeps things clear, organized, and entertaining through the entire album. Patreon: www.patreon.com/canomusicpodcast Email & Requests canomusicpodcast@gmail.com

    Wonder is the first worship album we've ever tackled. It was suggested by one of our Patrons. The album definitely maintains your typical worship sounds and styles with some progressive instrumental and lyrical moves. At 71 minutes long it's slow to develop and stays relatively stable.

It's an album based around the idea of "Lets go and write about another world in order to comment on this one." The social commentary regarding social media, government, relationships, and technology runs up and down the lyrics while paired with a lounge style, harmonically rich, low-key sound.
