The Paper Scissors Tour “In Loving Memory”

“Lung Sum” was one of my favorite tracks of 2010, so I’m thrilled to see The Paper Scissors, the men behind the tune, finally releasing that new album. In Loving Memory will hit stores around the country June 17.

This disc sounds right up my alley as it breaks away from those collections of three-and-a-half minute singles. Instead it paints epic rock soundscapes which explore the universal themes of love, family, death, and sex.

“We’ve shed any insecurities and have pieced together an album that embodies us as a band,” explained singer-songwriter Jai Pyne. “The way our sound has evolved and the fact that it reflects our learning and growth explains why it’s taken so long to realise this album.”

Thankfully the Sydney band is making up for lost time with a full-scale album tour. Tickets are available from the venues for the following shows.

17 June 2011 – Oxford Arts Factory, Sydney
18 June 2011 – Transit Bar, Canberra
24 June 2011 – East Brunswick Club, Melbourne
25 June 2011 – Jive, Adelaide

The Paper Scissors Release “Lung Sum” Video

I wrote about “Lung Sum,” the new single from The Paper Scissors a couple of weeks ago, but now that the film clip has been released I thought the song was worth another look.

Honestly, I’ve found myself a bit addicted to this song. The first time I heard it I liked it, but with every subsequent listen I’ve found myself falling in love just a little bit more. The music video matches the quality of the song, with some really clever imagery and a very polished look.

“Lung Sum” comes from The Paper Scissors’s forthcoming second album In Loving Memory. Are you digging it as much as I am?
