Release Date: 26/05/2009

fifth full-length from dallas-based avant-rock band the paper chase. 'someday this could all be yours' is a concept piece about natural disasters, spanning two albums. this is volume one, volume two will follow in early 2010. on 'someday this could all be yours volume 1' the paper chase leader john congleton crafts his most startling account of humanity. he explores the existential crisis inherent within a universe seemingly fated to exterminate its population. wringing the most sinister and destructive elements out of the natural world, congleton creates characters frantically trying to survive elements far beyond their control. while the narrative voices obsess over the batteries in their smoke alarms, the dams long the river and their desperate prayers for health and prosperity, these songs expose the utter frailty of the human condition. faced with huge catastrophic or cosmic events, man has no choice but to recognise his own insignificance. for fans of trail of dead, swans, gang of four, xiu xiu etc. on southern.
