Paper - keep ringing Ears (video)
References musical Paddington DC
Paper - Do not Go Out With HIM (MP3)
Man vs Machine. Chapter 1 was An Object . A great album. Techno. Punk. Rock. Obsessive. Chapter 2 is called Mischmasch . Machine won. You will not listen to it the same way whether you have already known Paper 's music or not. I have been following this band since 2006 , sum up their whole story in an interview , so I do not discover it today. And I have not been surprised by this new record. There is a reason to that : several songs from it were written a while ago, like Ears keep ringing (the video you can watch was shot in 2008....).
So, if Mischmasch can be seen as the logical sequel to An Object , it is a little bit better. A little bit darker too: if An Object featured a song called Why don't you try it with him , there is a tune called Don't go out with him in Mischmasch . All hope is gone then. It has been replaced by obsession. Lyrics such as "our world" or "self-destructive" are thus repeated over and over again until apocalypse happens.
Mischmasch first single, Coming from you , already came out. I said all the good I thought about it here . The whole album is at this level. No bad songs. But plenty of great angry anthems ( Don't go out with him , Our World ). This is definitely a punk record, but not the kind of "punk" we are used to. This is post post punk. With no equivalent. Or maybe just one : Paddington DC , the solo project of mister Calle Olsson , also member of the great Bear Quartet and of... Paper. He is probably THE most interesting guy within the whole Swedish scene. Paper is THE Swedish band you should listen to right now. And Mischmasch THE record you should buy if you can only buy one this year (it's gonna be released pretty soon ; you can get Paper albums here ).
(this record is highly AbsRecommended)

Man against machine. Chapter 1 was An Object . An excellent album. Techno. Punk. Rock. Obsessive. Chapter 2 is titled Mischmasch . The machine won. You do not listen the same way if you know the musical past Paper or not. I am this group since 2006, have summarized their history in an interview, I did not discover today. And I was not surprised not their record. There is a reason: many pieces were written there are quite a lease, as Ears ringing keep (the video you can see was tour in 2008 ....).
So if Mischmasch can be seen as the logical continuation of An Object, it is a little better. A little darker too: if on An Object included a song called Why do not you try it With HIM on Mischmasch is Do not Go Out With HIM . All hope seems gone. He was replaced by an obsessive side. Words such as "our world" or "self-destructive" and are repeated again and again until the Apocalypse occurs.
The first single Mischmasch , Coming from you , is already out. I said all the good that I thought here. The whole album is at this level. No title missed. But a handful of killings damn edgy ( Do not Go Out With HIM , Our World). A true punk record. Not the kind of "punk" which we are accustomed. Post-post punk. With no equivalent. Or, perhaps: Paddington DC , the solo project of mister Calle Olsson, also a member of Bear Quartet and ... Paper. This guy is probably the most interesting guy in the Swedish music scene. The Swedish paper that you listen today. And Mischmasch disc you must buy if you were not buying that this year (it comes out soon: you can buy the album from Paper here).
