Paper Anniversary
Sometimes the best sounds come from broken things -- toys or banjos or cheap electronics -- or everyday noises we tend to take for granted, like traffic and rain and purring cats and the squeak of boots on snow at -30 degrees. After listening to an appeal from a convicted bank robber, Paper Anniversary sits down to dinner with some small town bikers at the local hotel, interprets paper-loading instructions for a fax machine, pauses to read a poem, and starts driving. As the Vancouver Courier said, "... the disc is filled with perfect miniatures as finely wrought and layered as a New Yorker short story, with an inviting first line and an eye for detail... A perfect record in nearly every respect, Paper Anniversary is easily one of the best albums of the year." On tour with The Mountain Goats!
