Papercuts is an American indie pop band formed by Jason Quever with Graham Hill on drums, David Enos on keys, and Frankie Koeller on bass. They originated in San Francisco, California in 2000.
With a sound that blends dreamy melodies and hazy atmospheres, Papercuts has become a prominent figure in the indie music scene. Their music is often compared to artists such as Woods, Lower Dens, and Atlas Sound.
Known for their captivating live performances and introspective lyrics, Papercuts has gained a loyal following over the years. Their discography includes albums like "Parallel Universe Blues" and "Fading Parade," which showcase their unique blend of indie pop and psychedelic influences.

Since its establishment, Slumberland has been dedicated to discovering and nurturing talented artists. The label's roster includes some of the most exciting names in contemporary music, such as *The Pains of Being Pure at Heart*, *Frankie Rose*, and *The Wake*. These artists have helped shape the sound of modern indie rock and have garnered critical acclaim for their innovative approaches.

Whether you're searching for dreamy pop melodies or raw punk energy, this label offers a diverse range of sounds that will captivate any listener. Explore the world of Slumberland and discover your new favorite artist today!

Over the course of five stellar albums, Papercuts’ Jason Quever has shown himself to be a top-notch song-writer and producer, equally at home with lush, baroque textures and more stripped-down arrangements. His skill in the studio has helped him build-up an enviable resume recording, producing and playing with artists including Luna, Beach House, Cass McCombs, Dean Wareham / Dean and Britta and Slumberland’s own The Mantles. 

Papercuts’ new album Parallel Universe Blues reflects Quever’s recent move from long-time musical home San Francisco to Los Angeles and all of the searching and self-exploration that accompanies leaving your home, your friends and your scene. The sound is intimate and close, nicely balancing the sonic concerns of the last few Papercuts records. The opening pair of songs Mattress On The Floor and Laughing Man superbly sets the table for the rest of the album: perfect Spectorian pop songs echoed down through The Velvet Underground, LA’s Paisley Underground, Spiritualized and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Never sacrificing song-writing for atmospherics, Parallel Universe Blues is a superb addition to the Papercuts catalogue.
