Already hailed as one of Paste Magazine's ''Four To Watch,'' Paper Route has earned acclaim for their ingenious Electronica-based Rock and intensely intimate lyricism. The Nashville-based band's 2009 debut album, Absence, (released today) is an ambitious and impassioned collection of widescreen modern music, rich with shimmering textures and intricately crafted sonics. Think of the fresh, aggressive sound of The Killers first album, and you're on the right track with Paper Route's 'Absence'.
The album features the stand out 'Carousel' that was chosen to be a full two minute music bed for MTV's The City trailer. Up until now, it was next to impossible to find Carousel anywhere, as Paper Route had not included it in any of their pre-album release EPs. Sonically, and musically, it's been worth the wait.
