Our new album, Deathlike, is out on all platforms today. You can stream it anywhere, purchase it digitally, and order the cassette tape on Bandcamp through the link in our bio.
Massive thanks to everyone who stuck with the Big Paper while we took our time making this thing. There were multiple moments in time we weren't sure it would ever be finished let alone released - but the paper is strong and always prevails and we are so happy it's finally out in the world. It is the album we have wanted to make since we started creating music together under this name a decade ago. We are so proud of it.
Deathlike is an album which at its heart is about resilience in the face of adversity, unconditional love, and the idea of the near-death-experience as a catalyst for growth and change. Although it is certainly what we intend as a 'concept album', it does not need to be heard with a narrative in mind and ultimately we just hope these songs find you at a time when you need them, and can do for you what other records have done for us in our lives.
Thanks to our friends for always supporting the music stuff. Thanks to our families for putting up with us recording in their living rooms. Thanks to Stevie for being in our band and helping us write these songs. Thanks to Jack for the incredible mix and the invaluable wisdom. Thanks to Alex Lewis for the inspiration. Thanks to Modesto thanks to Waterford thanks to Stockton to Merced to Sacramento to Melbourne to London wherever you are listening from at whatever time. Thank you for caring if you've read this far.
Paper Space Forever.

Excited to share that Deathlike is available on translucent pink cassette tape! Can preorder thru our bandcamp and will be sold at any and all upcoming shows as well. If you're a cassette tape x paper space enjoyer, you are in luck ;) check out our bandcamp page for more details
"Feelings" is also out on streaming today. It is the final single from Deathlike, which comes out in one week on all digital platforms. It is one of the first songs we wrote for the album all the way back in 2018 and seems to be the one people like hearing a lot at the live shows. Hope you dig. Go stream, add to yr playlists, etc. etc.
One last thing; today is Bandcamp Friday, so all money from purchases goes straight to the artists today without bc taking a cut. Would be a great time to preorder the album digitally OR buy yourself a lil tape :) Other than coming to a show this is the best way to support us and we would rly appreciate it

News is never-ending, and we will have even more soon. We are as we speak locking in details on another upcoming very cool thing so stay tuned
thanks y'all - Deathlike is out one week from today on Oct 11, can't wait for everyone to hear it :)
"Deathlike", our second full-length album, will be released on October 11. "Impression" is the first single, and it is out today wherever you listen to music.
So beyond elated to be getting this thing out into the world, finally. Huge thanks to everyone who's still rocking with us for letting us cook for so long. Above all else truly hope you dig
If you hit the linktree in our bio you can stream "Impression" on all platforms. While you're there you can also pre-save the record on Spotify and if you feel so inclined to support us you can preorder the album (in digital format) on Bandcamp too.
