Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Papermaps used to be known as Ex-Po and their new name reflects a sound that’s as fresh as can be.
Opener Angela is a glorious pop song with an urgent delivery by singer Dean Marino.
Can’t make a Living is a song sung in a powerpop style that the band pull off well.
Exit is an energetic, punky song that has a real sense of edginess to it. Marino’s vocal is tense throughout.
You are my Gallows ends the album on a god note, Marino and co playing a soft yet intense song in a good way.
It’s a great album all told.
