“Crafted shortly after Jason’s relocation back to the San Francisco Bay Area after several years in LA, the new album revels in the tensions between the pleasures of homecoming and the collective miseries of the pandemic and our current political upheaval.”
From the bottle of pop on the cover to the Spiritualized-tinged melodies to the core of the album’s theme, Past Life Regression by Papercuts is dotted with nostalgia. A project by SF-based songwriter Jason Quever, the newest album from Slumberland Records thumps through jangle pop that booms more than it jangles, dream pop that punches above its weight.
