█ Paper Beat Scissors' self-titled debut obsesses over ends; ends as █
█ states of loss, ends as places for reflection, ends as necessary █
█ preconditions to new beginnings. Tim Crabtree's haunting voice lies at █
█ the centre of everything, with an honesty and rawness that skirts █
█ discomfort. Across the album, the instrumental palettes shift from the █
█ hypnotic loops of Ends in Themselves through full brass arrangements and █
█ screaming lap steel of Rest Your Bones to the stripped-back acoustic █
█ guitar and layered voices in the atheistic hymnal Let Me In that closes █
█ the album. █
█ █
█ The first rate cast of characters from Canada's folk and indie scenes █
█ demonstrates the pull of Paper Beat Scissors as a musician's favourite. █
█ Tanya Davis and Rose Cousins appear alongside Pietro Amato (of the █
█ Luyas, and Bell Orchestre) on French horn and Sebastian Chow (of █
█ Islands) on violin. Mike Feuerstack (Snailhouse, Bell Orchestre, Land Of █
█ Talk) pulls everything together as instrumental accomplice and █
█ co-producer. █
█ █
█ The album opens out from its more claustrophobic predecessor Flicker, █
█ combining that EP's home-recorded character with more formal studio █
█ recordings. Riverport, Nova Scotia's Confidence Lodge run by the Chilean █
█ audio wizard Diego Medina housed the first sessions, added to at the █
█ homes of Feuerstack and Crabtree. The record was mixed and finalized in █
█ Montreal in the kitchen of, and using the hands and ears of, Arcade Fire █
█ drummer Jeremy Gara. █
