Copenhagen-based instrumental psych rock trio PAPIR celebrates the release of their new studio offering, IX, that is out now on Stickman Records!

Their new album sees the band doubling down on what they do best: wide-open jams that unfold like landscapes. IX is a wide-open record in every sense. From the flowing compositions – which linger but never overstay, jam and unfold organically – to the wonderful airy production, you get the sense of being both in studio with the band and simultaneously on the beach with wind blowing through your hair. With touches of synth and extra percussion sprinkled in, it’s a record that feels alive in the moment, yet meticulously crafted. Terms like post-rock, ambient rock, psychedelia, and krautrock may circle PAPIR‘s distinct sound, but none quite capture its shimmering, elusive magic. 

IX is available as a 180g black double LP (including download code) and on CD. Order your favorite choice of format from the Stickman Records webshop now at: https://www.stickman-records.com/shop/papir-ix/

Copenhagen-based psych and melodic krautrock trio PAPIR has revealed the first details about their forthcoming album, aptly-titled “7”, which is slated for a release on January 14, 2022 via Stickman Records.

On their 7th full-length album, the band dials back their fuzz pedals and returns to the heavily atmospheric soundscapes that define much of their recent work. Many aspects of PAPIR’s music seem to have much in common with the sea – be it a willful association by the Danish trio or not. Their output moves in waves, sometimes fierce and blustery, sometimes gentle and calming, but always performed with unforced, organic talent. Over the course of their 7 full-length albums, the band sways between psychedelic guitar meltdowns and long atmospheric passages with grace and ease. “7”, with its blurred aquatic cover artwork is of course no exception to this rule, and the album is comprised of four long songs that return to calming waters after 2021’s heavier Jams.

But give ear, as the band just shared a first single taken from “7”! Watch the new video, created by Søren Bang Clemmensen, for the song “7.2” here:

Album side A is made up entirely of one 20-minute composition that flows seamlessly from the band’s signature melodic kraut-inspired rock into an ebb and flow of gorgeous ambient soundscapes. Guitarist Nicklas Sørensen’s shows a remarkable versatility, conjuring up a variety of sounds with his guitar that seem hardly possible with one instrument. When drummer Christoffer Brøchmann Christensen and bassist Christian Becher Clausen rejoin on side B, three further blissed-out tracks carry the listener away into their own world. If ambient post-krautrock isn’t yet a genre title, PAPIR should certainly be credited with its invention.

Album track listing:
7.1 (part I-III)
7.2
7.3
7.4

Coming out as LP including download card and as CD, the album pre-sale will be available on October 22 at THIS LOCATION!
