:PAPERCUTZ's sophomore album produced by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, Gang Gang Dance and Beach House) featuring darker, edgier songs with tribal percussion and epic sounds.
'The Blur Between Us' picks up on the character portrayed in 'Lylac' (papercutz.bandcamp.com/album/lylac) and finds him dealing with feelings of loss for the first time in his adult life.
The album starts with the character getting news about the death of a father like figure. This event prompts him to a dreamlike introspection where he imagines himself in epic fantasy episodes that lead him to understand his relationship with those around him and the feelings emerging from dealing with his own mortality.
