"Who you calling a savage?"
Papercuts make some of the most exquisite, velvety dream pop anywhere -- so we're lucky to have them here in S.F. Normally we associate Jason Quever's understated melancholy with the colder seasons, but this year, his band will be releasing a new album,
Life Among the Savages, at the height of summer -- June 3. Today brings the first video clip from the album, for the title track. It blends footage of Quever and his bandmates moping elegantly with some fun footage of the S.F. Zoo -- including that feline character you see above. The song is ornate and pretty even by Papercuts standards, with layers of acoustic guitars, strings, and breathy vocals. Check out the video below, and catch Papercuts celebrating their new album on Saturday, May 31, at
the Chapel.
